On Prem SQL Server to Fabric Warehouse via Copy Data

I've been testing the Copy Data activity from On Prem SQL server via a Data Gateway which was recently made available. I have successfully managed to load into a Lakehouse, but when trying to get Data into a Warehouse it requires that staging is enabled but does not support Workspace Staging and needs a connection to an Azure Environment. I'm assuming this is intentional, but are there any plans to allow this to use the StagingWarehouse objects in the future? It would be nice to keep everything in OneLake which would seem to fit with it's described purpose.

Hi @MOVC , @Joshrodgers123 , @ShaunBrewer 

Internal Team confimed that, it is on the roadmap. At present we don't have any ETA. But we can expect this feature in future.

One work around may be to use the gateway to get the information, but in stead of writing it to a table, you write it to a scv file, in the next activity you read that csv file and ingest into the warehouse. We ingest several csv files that way.

This way the lakehouse is only used to store a file, and nothing else.

Hi @MOVC ,

Thanks for using Fabric Community.

A simple workaround is by loading this to a cloud Lakehouse first, and then another copy activity to write that to WH.

In between we are also reaching out to the internal team to get some help on this .
We will update you once we hear back from them.

Hi - is there any update to this?
Copying from on-prem -> Lakehouse -> Warehouse isn't a practical solution for us.   Is there an alternative?  ( sorry am new to Fabric ).

I posted the same thing yesterday. Seems to go against the "OneLake" concept to have to bring additional Azure resources to copy to a warehouse.
