Schema creation in lakehouse

[Dinesh09]

What are the various ways of creating of new schema in Lakehouse ? By default 'dbo' is available.

Hi @Dinesh09 currently schemas are not supported in the lakehouse, but they will be at some point according to the fabric roadmap.

However, you are able to create schemas using the lakehouse sql endpoint and have views/sps created in those schemas.  Some people have had issues if they move a table created in the lakehouse to a different schema they created via sql endpoint though so be careful there

Thank you @AndyDDC  for the advice. I have views and sps created in warehouse DB by having tables from lakehouse DB. Do you think there will be issues here also ? I have sps in warehouse to create tables in warehouse DB by considering tables in lakehouse DB.

There should be no issue using schemas in Warehouses, they are fully supported.

Hi @Dinesh09 ,

Now Lakehouse supports the creation of custom schemas.
