Nikola Ilic wants to know if Direct Lake is using OneLake or SQL:
In my recent Microsoft Fabric training, I’ve been explaining the difference between the Direct Lake on OneLake and Direct Lake on SQL, as two flavors of Direct Lake semantic models. If you are not sure what I’m talking about, please start by reading this article. The purpose of this post is not to examine the differences between these two versions, but rather to clarify some nuances that might occur. One of the questions I got from participants in the training was:
“How do we KNOW if the Direct Lake semantic model is created as a Direct Lake on OneLake or Direct Lake on SQL model?”
Read on for that answer.
