Table visible in lakehouse but no data visible

Hi team,

im using Notebook to move data from my silver lakehouse to gold lakehouse along with minor transformations.
There are 10 tables and 1 table which is comparatively bigger than the others shows table schema but no data.


I checked the source table and it has data and below are the transformations i do before i overwrite the table.the print also shows its successfully loaded but there will not be any data if i query in lakehouse.

 

if i rerun the code it works, but sometimes this happens. Can someone help me to fix this?

If you are trying to view in SQL Analytics Endpoint, there is a delay. In that interface, in the upper right, there is a button to Refresh

Hey Thomas,

i have a data flow after this notebook to copy this gold data into an individual's lakehouse, That dataflow fails with this error
DeltaDataFileMissingAddFileAction,'Type=Microsoft.DataTransfer.Common.Shared.HybridDeliveryException,Message=No matching AddFile action for data file
thats how i notice this blank table. then i go back to default lakehouse view and SQL end point. But both will be blank even if i refresh the view.

Hello @joyeldavis007,

When overwriting a table from a Fabric notebook, make sure you use both:

 

gold_path = "Tables/gold_lakehouse/your_table_name"
df_transformed.write \
    .format("delta") \
    .mode("overwrite") \
    .option("overwriteSchema", "true") \
    .save(gold_path)
 
  • overwriteSchema ensures the schema is correctly updated.

  • saveAsTable guarantees the data is committed into the Lakehouse Tables area (not just written as loose files).

 

In short: always use overwriteSchema + saveAsTable and give Fabric a bit of time to sync — otherwise you may see “schema only, no rows” right after the overwrite.

 
Hope it can help you ! 
Best regards,
Antoine

Hey AntoineW,

i lost my code block while posting, i'm already using overwriteschema with saveAsTable.But instead of providing the path i just mentioned the table name inside saveAsTable.Will that might be the issue?

Attaching my code block.

 df.write.format("delta").mode("overwrite").option("overwriteSchema", "true").saveAsTable(resource_gold)
    print(f"✅ Saved gold table: {resource_gold}")
