Boost Query Performance for External Data with Data Acceleration

Improve the speed and reliability of external Data Lake Objects by using data caching to store frequently accessed information. Data acceleration acts as a high-speed local accelerator for federated data, copying it into a temporary cache to process it with minimal latency. Select between full or incremental refreshes to keep your data current and ready for high-demand querying.
