Advanced SQL Queries in Database Connection: DELETE Statements

Are commands such as DELETE allowed in the SQL Statement when connecting to data (databases)?

Are there limitations as to what commands I can use?

And is it possible to delete or change my data through this SQL Statement option in Power BI?

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Yes, we can do it. But that isn't a good idea.
