If I create an external table on AWS Databricks, will it be a Delta table? If not, is there a way to make it a Delta table, or is there no Delta capability for external tables?

Hi Akshay,
I believe you can try this for your use case ->
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS catalog.schema.my_external_table (
id INT,
name STRING,
age INT
)
USING delta
LOCATION '<location>'
This will create a delta table.
