With this, you can add a new admin and remove the previous owner.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Is there any way to change ownership of the Lakehouse?

Interested to learn about Kusto Query Language (KQL) in a funny, entertained and engagin way? Try Kusto Detective Kusto Detective Agency

Using gamification techniques, you will learn KQL to query, transform, and visualize data for real time analytics.

Also, you can create a Kusto free cluster with real time data for experimentation.

One of the coolest applications of Copilot within Fabric, is the ability to translate SQL code into Power Query (M) code when working with Data Factory. It saves a lot of time and resources.

I also translated Python code into Power Query (M) for a complex transformation, and it works perfect!

Fabric + Copilot = ‘The PeanutButter and jelly of data’

Good day community!

Have you seen the many connectors that KQL comes with?

Many open source ones among them:

1. Apache Kafka
2. Apache Flink
3. Apache Log4J 2
4. Apache Spark
5. Apache Spark for Azure Synapse Analytics
6. Azure Cosmos DB
7. Azure Data Factory
8. Azure Event Grid
