Can I use query folding with Mysql?

[8jesse]

Hello, I imported tables from mysql database using native query.

(ex, select * from table1 where date>='2019-01-01')

I would like to use the incremental refresh. It requires the table query should support data folding, but the menu is not available.

Is there anyone using incremental refresh with mysql?

Thanks!

Hi @8jesse ,

Based on this document, Most data sources that have the concept of a query language support query folding. These data sources can include relational databases.

In the Power Query Editor window, it is possible to determine when a Power Query query can be folded. In the Query Settings pane, when you right-click the last applied step, if the View Native Query option is enabled (not greyed out), then the entire query can be folded.

Based on my test, if we using native query in source step, the view Native Query will be grepy out. After we delete it, we can see the option.

If you cannot see the option of configuring incremental refresh, please check the status of this feature based on this document:
