Explanation
Unity Catalog defines securables as entities like catalogs, schemas, tables, and views that can have permissions assigned to control access. Clusters and databases are not managed as securables in Unity Catalog. Clusters are compute resources, and the term 'database' is often synonymous with 'schema' but is not separately defined in Unity Catalog.
