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.
Thanks

The different data sourses by using direct query mode named composite model, you can refer to the following link about it.
