Hello  
I would like to refresh the reflections created from the PDS without having to obtain the id of the PDS table, but rather by starting directly from the id of the reflection in question.

@sourou Currently, Dremio supports triggering reflection refresh based on dataset ID only, can be either PDS or VDS

We recently added support for refreshing a reflection by ID. See [Refreshing Reflections | Dremio Documentation](https://docs.dremio.com/cloud/sonar/reflections/refreshing-reflections/#triggering-refreshes-by-using-the-reflection-api-the-catalog-api-or-an-sql-command)

Keep in mind that refreshing a specific reflection could include refreshing upstream reflections that the reflection depended on. It could also refresh downstream reflections of related source table. Basically, by refreshing a reflection, you are asking Dremio to also refresh related reflections so that all reflections materialize a consistent state of source data.
