As of this comment, SQL analytics still requires a few additional enablement steps. You will need to ask your Databricks account team to help turn this on in your workspace.

You could potentially do this through a Global Init Script - https://docs.databricks.com/clusters/init-scripts.html

Can I move some partitions of a Delta table to a different location?

I am partitioning my Delta table by date. Older data is rarely accessed, so I am wondering if I can move some of the files off to colder storage options. What would happen if I did this? Is this a supported pattern or would it break the table?

Deleting the Delta log directory would cause you to lose the underlying transaction history on the delta table and other delta related optimizations. In effect the table would be converted to a Parquet table at that point
