Table Count of loaded data / Validation of Incremental Load

[npowerbi]

Hi Folks,

I am trying to connect to a database in import mode and fetching records. I am checking if we can implement incremental load functionality.

For this purpose I need a quick table count of loaded tables every 2 hours. Kindly guide me if there is any quick way to get table count and store it for testing purpose.

Here is the workflow I am planning for my incremental load testing.

1. I connect to a table A and load the entire table. [Need to quickly check table count. As of now it shows only 199+ because of large volume]. I need to store this count in custom table as well e.g. today's date, today's time and table count
2. Let's say initial run table loads 10K records
3. If I schedule next run in next 4 hours, and fetches 1 K records, I need to enter today's date, time and 1 K as an entry

This will confirm that my next run has fetched only 1 K records.

It will be great if you can suggest a better approach confirm my incremental loads

Hmm, maybe the REST API?

Just to add to this, if you get your dataset, it has a definition for tables and a method in tables for getting rows in a table.
