Hello,

Is it possible to Extract data from an existing Lakehouse into a Prepare instance without needing to move it into the TimeXtender Ingest instance? The use case is to avoid replicating the data again, if the customer has already ingested data into a data lake or Lakehouse.

Thanks in advance

Tim

Hi ​@Tim Turner 

I don’t believe there is a way to do this without moving the data. I assume you are still on v20 and the closest to that behavior is the Add external SQL connection. I don’t think it would work for anything but a SQL database and it will need to be cross-database or a linked server to be possible.
