With the recent addition of dashboard tabs in databricks, I could not find a way to have filters apply to multiple tabs within the same dashboard - so far I have had to manually create and apply filters to each of my tabs individually.

AWS Databricks external tables are delta tables?

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.

We aim to implement Databricks Mirroring through the Fabric APIs for automation. However, the Mirroring API specifically states that it is not compatible with Databricks. Are there alternative APIs that could be used to achieve this functionality?
