Delta Lake tables use the Parquet format as their underlying storage format. Delta Lake enhances Parquet by adding a transaction log that keeps track of all the operations performed on the table. This allows features like ACID transactions, scalable metadata handling, and schema enforcement, making it an ideal choice for big data processing and management in environments like Databricks.
