Patch and SQL Server

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

 

Im trying to update a record in a SQLServer Table.
The connection is ok, My table has id as primaryID 
All fields visible in powerapps.

 

I have created a gallery witch displays the records in the DB.
And here is the problem:

I have added a button under the datacard and added this under onselect:

Patch('[dbo].[Befaring]';First(Filter('[dbo].[Befaring]';id=BrowseGallery1_1.Selected.id));{Utfort: "Ja"})

The semicolons(separators) are used in Norwegian version of powerapps instead of comma

As you can see im trying to update record Utfort with the text Ja

This doesnt work. Any ideas???

    Hi @Anonymous 

    There was a very similar post about this yesterday here.

    https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Patch-Function-Doesn-t-update-the-SQL/m-p/438328/highlight/false#M129906 

    I would try the same suggestions that I suggested in that post. That is, to check that First/Filter function returns the expected record by using a label, and to try the LookUp function instead.

    Feel free to post back here if you require any clarification.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your answer!!

     

    I added a new textbox outside the gallery an wrote this in default:
    LookUp('[dbo].[Befaring]';id=3).Navn

    This returned the name (Navn) of the customer.

     

    Then i added a new button inside the datacard(To see if there was a bug in the old one) and added this into onselect:
    Patch('[dbo].[Befaring]';LookUp('[dbo].[Befaring]';id=2);{Utfort: "Ja"})
    Didnt work. I hardcoded to update id 2

     

    Server response is: Resource not found

    Solved it.
    When you update the database with primary key. It doesnt help just to click opdate on the connection.
    You have to remove it and add it again and then it works.

     

    Perfekt
