    Hi Kristian_nho ,

    Thank you for the update and for sharing your decision with the community.

    Choosing Fabric Warehouse is a solid approach for this scenario, as it provides tighter integration with Lakehouse data and avoids the current limitations around external table support in Fabric SQL Database.

    If you have any follow-up questions while working with Fabric Warehouse or need guidance on optimizing your setup, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re always happy to help.

    Best Regards.
