New Feature: Create Shortcuts from Fabric SQL DB Tables to Lakehouse!

samuvva — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 18:21:40 GMT

Fabric now allows creating shortcuts on SQL DB tables that can be accessed directly from Lakehouses.

I also tested the reverse direction and found the following limitations:

You cannot create shortcuts on Lakehouse items within SQL DB.
You cannot create shortcuts on SQL DB views. Currently, only tables are supported.

This is a helpful step toward better integration between SQL and Lakehouse environments. I'm looking forward to future enhancements.
