In Databricks SQL, ad-hoc or saved SQL statements can be authored and executed only in the SQL Editor itself or when you open an existing (or create a new) item on the Queries page, which launches the same editor interface. Other pages (Data, Dashboards, Alerts) are limited to browsing objects, viewing visualizations, or managing alert rules and do not expose the code-editing/run environment needed to execute SQL.

A. Data page – browse schemas/tables; no query-execution interface.

B. Dashboards page – view dashboards; cannot edit or run SQL.

D. Alerts page – manage alert definitions; no place to write queries.
