Where in the Databricks SQL workspace can a data analyst configure a refresh schedule for a query when the query is not attached to a dashboard or alert?

Question

Options

• AData Explorer
• BThe Visualization editor
• CThe Query Editor
• DThe Dashboard Editor

• A
  5% (1)
• B
  5% (1)
• C
  79% (15)
• D
  11% (2)

Explanation

In Databricks SQL, the Query Editor (option C) is the correct location because it provides a dedicated Schedule option in the query's settings panel, allowing analysts to set automatic refresh intervals directly on the query itself - independent of any dashboard or alert attachment.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Data Explorer): Used for browsing databases, tables, and schemas - it has no query scheduling functionality.
• B (Visualization Editor): A sub-panel within the Query Editor for configuring chart types and display settings; it has no scheduling controls.
• D (Dashboard Editor): Dashboards do have refresh schedules, but that schedules the dashboard, not an individual standalone query. This option only applies when the query is attached to a dashboard.

Memory tip: Think "the query lives in the Query Editor, so its schedule lives there too." If there's no dashboard in the picture, go back to where the query was born - the Query Editor.
