- **SQL databases** where you can define your own databases and tables directly using the serverless SQL pools. You can use T-SQL CREATE DATABASE, CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE to define the objects and add additional SQL views, procedures, and inline-table-value functions on top of the tables.

Azure Synapse Analytics allows you to create lake databases and tables using Spark or database designer, and then analyze data in the lake databases using the serverless SQL pool. The lake databases and the tables (parquet or CSV-backed) that are created on the Apache Spark pools, [database templates](../database-designer/concepts-database-templates.md), or Dataverse are automatically available for querying with the serverless SQL pool engine. The lake databases and tables that are modified will be available in serverless SQL pool after some time. There will be a delay until the changes made in Spark or Database designed appear in serverless.

For example, create or delete a lake database through a Spark pool job. You can't create a lake database or the objects in the lake databases using the serverless SQL pool.
