powerapps SQL Azure Primary key requirements

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi .

I think I rememember reading that if you are using powrerapps with a SQL DB, the SQL Table has to have Primary Key, and that Key must be numeric. Is that correct? Or can I have a non-numeric Primary Key?

Thanks

    You can have the Primary key defined with a non-numeric field.

    If you would like to connect the SQL Server table with PowerApps, then the table should at least has a Primary key defined within it.

    There is not more restrictions based on what I know.

     

    For the other limits when working with SQL Server connector, please see:

    SQL Server
