2) It's OK approach for relatively small external source tables because in this case, you need to build the cube for all the records and have no option to update/sync.

If you OK with timings on cube building you are very welcome to use the approach.

If the building time is sensible for the application consider use the approach what @Eduard Lebedyuk already has advised you: import only new records from the external database (hash method, sophisticated query or some other bright idea) and do the cube syncing which will perform faster than cube rebuilding.

Hi, Max!

I think you have two questions here.

1. how to import data into Caché class from another DBMS.

2. How to update the cube which uses an imported table as a fact table.

About the second question: I believe you can introduce a field in the imported table with a hash-code for the fields of the record and import only new rows so DeepSee Cube update will work automatically in this case. Inviting @Eduard Lebedyuk to describe the technics in details.

Regarding the 1st question - I didn't get your problem, but you can test linked table via SQL Gateway UI  in Control Panel.

Hi, Peter!

What situation do you have in mind that could cause the compilation to be unsuccessful?

E.g. compilations using a projection when the result of compilation could be totally unpredictive. 

Also, compilation can be a time-consuming process, comparing to replacing cache.dat file - so it potentially a longer pause in production operation. 

I can't see how deploying/copying the Cache.dat will avoid problems when you have multiple developers or multiple projects on the test server.

I'm not saying that coping cache.dat strategy should be used for a test server. Indeed we can compile the branch on a build/test and then transfer cache.dat to a production if testing goes well.

1. Try plaintext editor - it supports markdown.

2. No. If you think we need it - add your issue here?

3.  There is a button in the right corner (highlighted) - it uploads the image into the post/comment in place.

Usually, I need to adjust a width after that. I select it and click the button with an image (see the screenshot). Recommended maximum width is 700px for landscape and 300 for a portrait orientation.

4. Yes, I believe it works in markdown editor. Pinging our DC media manager @Anastasia Dyubaylo to describe how she is doing that.

5. We can introduce better if you know it. Suggest and editor or suggest the requirements to an editor - we will do that.
