A comment on Databricks is an RDBMS.

The key gap as I see it is that databricks doesn’t support multi-table transactions. And that is why you can’t treat it as though it as a drop in functional replacement for an rdbms.

(Why no vector clocks in the manifest files or something?)

Interestingly, BigQuery is also missing multi-table transactions. There are ways to live without this feature, but I agree it's a gap.

Check out https://projectnessie.org it adds multi-table transactions to Databricks Delta.
