Fabric - Database table to lakehouse Delta table - how?

I am using Fabric preview. I can't figure out a basic use case: how do I extract a table from a database, and create it as a table in a Fabric lakehouse?

 

I go into my Lakehouse > Get data > New Dataflow Gen2 > get data from my database (it's an on-prem PostgreSQL database, and I'm using a gateway).

 

The dataflow gets a table. The dataflow refreshes successfully. All good.

 

But that doesn't create a table in the lakehouse. What is the flow to get data from a database, and turn it into a Delta table in the lakehouse?! (None of the documentation seems to cover this major use case.) Thanks!

Oh, I had forgotten to set a destination on the dataflow! I set it to my lakehouse.

 

However, for now, the dataflow refresh fails, presumably because of this known bug.
