Dynamic table support for Information links

With the current implementation of information links, it only works well for tables that are relatively static or rarely has schema changes from adding or removing columns.


In scenarios, where a table is relatively dynamic with frequently schema changes, information link does not work for this situation since the link would need to be re-created or updated manually each time. This is extremely cumbersome and adds a lot of overhead. In these scenarios using the ODBC method to access the data source is preferred since it is loaded on demand.

Please add support for dynamic tables in information links as it would be extremely helpful. I would propose making it possible to update the existing information link and provide an option to sync from the source table to add / remove any changes in the column structure.

And secondly, I'd make it so this can be added as a job / task in the automation services so this can be automatically updated if needed.
