Azure AutoML Continuously-Updating Forecast

Question

Hi! I'm new to this, and I'm trying to create a machine learning model to forecast monthly spend based on the spending of previous months. I have been experimenting with AutoML, and I'm wondering:

1. How could I pull a data set from a database rather than upload a file?
2. Every month, new spending data is added to the database. Is it possible for the ML model to automatically recompute each month, now taking into account the new data?
   Thanks

AutoML supports local and the following online data sources. You can create a create/register a datastore that has access to your storage, then create datasets from the datastore.
