Microsoft Fabric - Data Factory - Data Pipeline - No Option to extract set of records from Lakehouse

[Sathish133]

Hi Team,

I am trying to extract the set of records using filter and load it into another Lakehouse/Warehouse using Copy Activity. Because we have the SQL Endpoint where we can write SQL, apply filter and check the data from Lakehouse, sameway I am trying to achieve from Copy Activity.

But Copy Activity not have Query or Filter option in the Source to apply filter and extract the set of records from Lakehouse.

Is this limitation of Microsoft Fabric or Am I missing anything ?

Hi @Sathish133 ,

Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community.

Currently, to query a Lakehouse within a Data Pipeline, you can consider the following options:

1. As suggested by @NandanHegde , you can use the Azure SQL Database connector and point it to the SQL Analytics endpoint of your Lakehouse. This enables the query option in the GUI, allowing you to extract a filtered set of records and copy them into another Lakehouse or a Warehouse.

2. Alternatively, you can use a Script activity to run a query against the Lakehouse. To enable query support in the Script activity, again use the Azure SQL Database connector targeting the Lakehouse SQL Analytics endpoint.

You can use the Azure SQL database connection with the SQL analytics end point post which you would get Query option where you can write your SQL query with filter aspect
