    Hi smpa01 

    Thanks for actively participating in MS fabric community support.

     

    There is currently no supported way to create a logical (non-materialized) view directly over Lakehouse files (e.g., daily Parquet/Delta fetches) in SQL Warehouse. This is a limitation of Microsoft Fabric compared to Databricks, which allows logical views directly over Delta locations.

    please refer to below doc for more info:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-warehouse/limitations

     

    Currently, supported use cases include:

    • Creating logical views over existing registered tables in the Lakehouse.

    • Creating materialized views on those tables.

    • Using OPENROWSET to read Parquet or CSV files.

     

    To work with Delta files in SQL, the data must first be loaded into a table within the Lakehouse, after which views can be created as needed.

     

     

     

    Thanks,
