Fabric Datflow Gen 2 Creating multiple staging datawarehouse and Tables on every run
Hi Team,
I am using dataflow gen 2 to load on premise data to fabric datawarehouse upon using it for every new dataflow gen 2 it creating new staging datawarehouse and it inside it creating multiple tables and storing the records this is dont want why it is happening , why i am using dataflow gen 2 for data loading as fabric data factory not allowing to load data from onprimise to datawarehouse for that it expecting the inbetween staging area like azure blob storage like that currently i have only fabric liscence i didnt know this bug before i purchase the fabric, so in order to handle this i used dataflow gen 2 for my work but this also creating a dublicate staging datwarehouse and tables.
my concern will increase in future means how i can handle it and it also consumes more storage so is there any way i can stop or cler this activity.

As mentioned in this thread: Solved: Re: Dataflow gen2 - multiple staging artifacts - Microsoft Fabric Community
It is certainly possible that this behavior could change as time goes on. For now, the only way to control these staging warehouses is to disable staging in your dataflow.- burakkaragoz

Hi noorudeen100 ,
Use a Custom Connector Configuration
Sometimes the default PostgreSQL connector used by the On-Premises Data Gateway can be finicky. You can try the following:
- Manually configure the connection string in the gateway using advanced settings. For example:
Host=your_host;Port=5432;Database=your_db;Username=your_user;Password=your_password;SSL Mode=Prefer;
- Make sure the SSL mode matches what your PostgreSQL server expects (Require, Prefer, or Disable).
Check for 32-bit vs 64-bit Driver Mismatch
Ensure that the bit version of the PostgreSQL ODBC driver matches the bit version of the gateway. A mismatch can cause silent failures.
Try Using a Different Connector (ODBC vs Native)
If you're using the native PostgreSQL connector, try switching to the ODBC connector in the gateway setup and configure it using a DSN that you’ve already tested successfully.
Let us know if this helps—or if you can share the exact connector type and version you're using, we can dig deeper.

HI Prasanth,
i dont find why it is been automatcially creating the multiple staging datawarehouse with timestamp also i did manually deleting it in onelakecatalog and i gace user login token issue so that i am unable to login into the ssms and power bi it casued an issue for accesing the micrsosft fabric i checkd in onlune as there is no official guidlines to manage this autocreated staging items.
so now i decided to keep all the staging items as it is so i will not face any token access issue, but this is really worry that microsoft has doesnt have any guidelines to cleanup this staging artifacts as it grows and it will casue additional storage and cost
