What is SQL Editor?

What does 'SQL Editor' mean?

A workspace inside an analytics or database tool where users write and run SQL queries directly against connected data sources, rather than relying only on drag-and-drop builders. Common conveniences include syntax highlighting, autocomplete on table and column names, query history, and the ability to save a query or turn its results into a chart. It exists for people who want more control than a visual query builder allows.
