Is this basically a table format like Delta/Iceberg but with an SQL engine built in via DuckDB?

Nope, from my understanding the delta log (the files that say which of your data files are actually valid or not) isn’t saved in json/parquet but directly in a database.

Much faster, but adds a dependency... that you would have added anyway with database based catalogs (that are not the only kind of catalogs)
