SQL databse to Dataverse tables?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 1,097

I have a databse in SQL.

I have several tables i want to sync to dataverse.

I want the data in the sql tables to be mirrored in the dataverse tables.

 

What is the best approach?

I have setup a flow to do this, every hour import all data to dataverse and update each row.

 

But i am wondering if there is a better way than using power automate?

Can i utilize dataflows?

    Hi @Oskarkuus ,

    Virtual connector for SQL can also be used for your scenario

    Bit late but i havent explored this topic much since i posted.

    I am still a bit unsure about this.

     

    Atm i have setup a few flows in power automate that fetch all data from sql, creates or updates it in dataverse. this sync is run every day.

     

    I could use virtual tables

     

    But id like to get answers to these questions first:

    1. Is it a two way sync - if value is updated in virtual table in dataverse will it update in sql and vice versa?

    2. If i create more columns in the virtual table, will those sync to sql table?

    3. If a new column is created in sql table, will that be synced automatically to dataverse virtual table?

    4. If a row is deleted in either sql table or dataverse table, will that sync both ways?

     

    Another option i think  can use is Dataflows

     

    But how does dataflows compare to virtual tables and having flows running?
