Is there a polybase (a function that can query external db table without etl) function in fabric?

Is there a polybase (a function that can query external db table without etl) function for synapse analysis in fabric? If not, are there any plans to add this feature?

Hello @sukbin 

Thanks for using the Fabric community .

Can you place elaborate what do you mean by  "External db table " ? Is the table on a different lake house ? Or this is a table on a different source ? 
Thanks

 I mean tables in other databases like Oracle or mariadb.

Thanks for reply . 

I dont think there is any at ths time . Please beware that when you try to connect to other datasource ( mariadb or Oracle ) we also need to make a connection to the data source to access the data source . I think the ELT / ETL is the way to go and many of them are with "No Code" option . 

I will request you to add the ask here https://ideas.fabric.microsoft.com/  , so that the product team is aware of the ask and they can prioritize that in the future release .
