Single database within a single data source limitation still exist?

In the book Master Microsoft Power BI, it says that only one database from a single data source is allowed to have DirectQuery, this book was written in 2022, I wonder if this is still the case in 2024?

 

Sorry I couldn't find any info on the internet.

Hi @Nietzsche 

You can connect the different data source by using direct query mode, but it will have some reminders, you can refer to the following picture.
