What occurs after you click the "Run" button in the Databricks SQL editor?

When you click the "Run" button in the Databricks SQL editor, the primary action taken is the execution of the SQL query you have written. This means that the system processes the query against the underlying database, retrieves the specified data, and generates the output based on the defined operations.

Executing the query is the foundational step in working with data in any SQL environment, including Databricks. After this execution, the results can then be further analyzed, visualized, or manipulated based on the needs of the user. This ability to execute queries and obtain results is critical for data analysts who rely on querying data to derive insights or perform analyses.

While there may be additional outcomes after running the query, such as visualizing the results or displaying errors if they exist, the act of running the query itself is the essential function initiated by the "Run" button. Disconnecting the SQL warehouse would not commonly occur just from executing a query. Therefore, the execution of the SQL query is the most accurate and direct answer to what happens when you click "Run."
