# Overview



CarbonData has its own parser, in addition to Spark's SQL Parser, to parse and process certain Commands related to CarbonData table handling. You can interact with the SQL interface using the [command-line](https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-programming-guide.html#running-the-spark-sql-cli) or over [JDBC/ODBC](https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-programming-guide.html#running-the-thrift-jdbcodbc-server).
