You would not need to change your SQL, and I am assuming you would bring in your half million rows with your SQL and then create a fact table and mutliple dimension tables from that (a good practice). All your tables would be created in the query editor and no DAX tables would be needed. Even if you uncheck enable load on the original table, it would still be included in the refresh (as the other queries that are loaded would reference it and trigger its refresh too).
