What is the first step to complete a basic Databricks SQL query?

To effectively run a basic Databricks SQL query, the first step is to open the SQL editor. The SQL editor is the environment where users write and execute their SQL queries. By accessing the SQL editor, you can create a new query or modify an existing one and ensure that you have a workspace set up that facilitates the execution of SQL commands.

Once inside the SQL editor, you can proceed to set up a SQL warehouse, type your query, and ultimately save your work. However, it all begins with opening the SQL editor, as it provides the necessary interface to interact with the database and execute queries. Only after this initial step can you move on to other actions that are part of the query execution process.
