Why isn't SQL Endpoints enabled in Azure Databricks?

Question

I want to create an SQL Endpoint as per the documentation:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databricks/sql/admin/sql-endpoints

However this option does not appear in the databricks assets drop down:

Why not and how can I enable SQL Endpoints in my Azure Databricks instance?

Answer 1

Requirements

• Your Azure Databricks account must be on the Premium plan.
• Launch a workspace. You can use an existing workspace or create a new one
• You must be an Azure Databricks admin. Ref

Answer 2

There could be several reasons for that:

• (most probable) administrators didn't give you access to Databricks SQL - they need to follow the documentation to enable it for users or groups.
• your workspace is not on Premium plan (requirements in docs)
