I have a pipeline in fabric and source has 2-3 fields that has datetime as datattype and in pipeline I am using copy activity to copy data from source to lakehouse table. Now lakehouse table has fields datatype as timestamp.pipeline is executing successfully but when I am trying to run select query through spark sql on notbook it is returning error datetime inconsistency. Please help me how I can fix this issue

I am assuming you are able to view the data from lakehosue explorer and you are facing this error when ran the query in spark sql, is it?

Are you able run a T-SQL query on this table from sql analytics end point?

if the answer for the above two questions is yes then I am guessing its a type conversion problem. Please checkout this blog

was there any unsual datetime value like '31-12-9999' ? 

I would suggest you to performing manual type casting in the spark sql

BTW, in Fabric lakehouse timestamp datatype is datetime2.
