I am assuming you are able to view the data from lakehosue explorer and you are facing this error when ran the query in spark sql, is it?

Are you able run a T-SQL query on this table from sql analytics end point?

 

if the answer for the above two questions is yes then I am guessing its a type conversion problem. Please checkout this blog

was there any unsual datetime value like '31-12-9999' ? 

I would suggest you to performing manual type casting in the spark sql

BTW, in Fabric lakehouse timestamp datatype is datetime2.
