After connecting to a database, how does Bold BI manage new tables?
Handling New Tables in Bold BI
When working with Bold BI, it’s important to understand how the platform manages new tables and table modifications after connecting to a database. This process varies depending on whether you’re using a live connection or an extract mode connection.
Live Connection
In a live connection, any newly added tables will be automatically reflected in the connected data source. This means that when you edit the data source, these new tables will be readily available. This feature allows for real-time updates and seamless integration of new data into your existing data source.
Extract Mode Connection
On the other hand, an extract mode connection operates differently. In this mode, newly added tables will not be reflected in the connected data source unless the data source is reconnected using the edit connection option. This means that any changes to the database, such as the addition of new tables, will require a reconnection to the data source in order to be reflected in Bold BI.
By understanding these differences, you can better manage your data sources and ensure that your data is always up-to-date and accurate.
