    Hi, @Nguyen Le Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum, Thanks for posting your question.

    Yes, both Azure Data Studio and Azure Databricks can handle SQL queries and Python. However, there are some differences between the two.

    Azure Data Studio is a cross-platform database tool that provides a SQL editor for running SQL queries against various databases, including Azure Cosmos DB. It also provides a Python editor for running Python scripts.

    Azure Databricks, on the other hand, is an Apache Spark-based analytics platform that provides a collaborative environment for running big data and AI workloads. It provides a SQL editor for running SQL queries and a notebook environment for running Python scripts. The notebook environment provides a collaborative environment for data scientists, data engineers, and business analysts to work together on big data and AI projects.

    Here is a comparison table between Azure Data Studio and Azure Databricks:

    In summary, Azure Data Studio is a database tool that provides basic SQL and Python support, while Azure Databricks is an advanced analytics platform that provides a collaborative environment for running big data and AI workloads.

    I hope this information helps, please let me know if you have any additional questions.

    Regards

    Geetha
