• What version of delta lake is used in Synapse?
• Is there a query I can run to answer my own question?

<package_name>.___version___Concering Azure Synapse and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/synapse-analytics/spark/apache-spark-33-runtime:
From my experience: Microsoft is very bad at keeping doc up-to-date.
Also: unfortunately they maintain a Microsoft-proprietary fork of delta. They add another digit at the end of the official delta version, see here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/synapse-analytics/spark/apache-spark-33-runtime#:~:text=delta%2Dcore_2.12-,2.2.0.1,-kusto%2Dingest
In a Synapse Notebook you can do this:
Copy code
>>> delta.__path__
['/usr/hdp/current/spark3-client/jars/delta-core_2.12-2.2.0.2.jar/delta']delta-core_2.12-2.2.0.2.jar3 Views
