Dataflow vs T-SQL - Struggling with Views

Hi, 

 

I thought I'd try using SQL views on a LakeHouse table, via it's SQL EndPoint. 

The Grouping I'm doing is much, much faster than the Dataflow, and doesn't have the 10 minute time-out limit. 

The only problem is, when I try saving the SQL as a View, give it a name, I keep getting the following error, even on SQL statements as simple as:

SELECT *
FROM dbo.Table_1;
 
Any ideas?

Yes, but I don't think the GUI works, for example, if the query starts with a CTE.

Ok, I removed the ";" at the end, and this simple view worked. 

But it doesn't work for views that start with 

 

CTE, using the WITH expression, or tables where I use the ORDER BY function. 

Seems strange as ORDER BY is so commmon?

Ok, I got this to work by wrapping the view in a stored procedure (with ordering)

I got the view to work by creating it programatically. the GUI doesn't work, its a bug.
