Hi,

    " manual or schedule refresh" have no effect on the performance of database.

     

    Import and direct query are two connection mode of power bi. They have no impact on database itself but will affect the performance of refresh data in power bi. You can refer to this blog: https://www.cittabase.com/blog/power-bi-tips-import-vs-direct-query/.
