Recommended Duration of Dataset Refresh

‎01-12-2023 05:50 AM

Hi, guys

have a quick question, what is the recommended duration of Dataset Refresh, for example, I have a couple of millions rows in 3 tables. 
My source is SQL Server and I am on Premium Capacity.

How long it should take to refresh this kind of dataset and what duration would be sort of a red flag that I did something wrong?

Thank you

2 million rows is not a lot and could take just a few minutes, but then you could also have huge varchar columns or blobs in there, so it really depends on how many columns you have and what are their data types.
