I have a large dataset which up until 1st April is static with historical data (BaseData)
periodically I want to append data to this table from a folder say once a month, so i will create incremental files and load from folder into a separate table and then run an append query to add it to the BaseData
I will then run all of my queries I have on the (BaseDataPlusIncremental) table
question, is it better to produce an intermediate table called append which is a simple Table.Combine(BaseData,Incremental) and refer to this in my processing queries that follow
OR
make the the source for my processing query a Table.Combine, this will save bloating my workbook with 150k lines of data
if I load the base into a table and delete the query so i am effectively making it static will this improve efficiency of processing
Lastly do I make any of these queries connection only or load to table, will this impact the speed/optimisation
