Appending To Large Static Data Set
Hi Kfausch
I think what you have done till step 2 is correct. Then try using Append on table 2 where enable load should be enabled (this refers to your table that would be visible in the model or not). Just come to table 2 with Refresh disabled (static data) and then do append table 1 to this table. I believe it should work.
Also, you can avoid this by using incremental refresh as well, where probably you can store the whole data and then just refresh the latest data (1-10 days to months, quarters or years as per your requirement).

Appending the current data to the history table did reduce the refresh time further. Thanks for your recommendation!
