Posted on by Hailuz

Could you please assist me with the following questions? 

  1. Are there any alternative data source options for the Power page, besides Dataverse?

  2. If I am considering creating a virtual table from an SQL table, can I perform all CRUD operations on it? Additionally, how are permissions or access for external users managed with respect to these tables?

Thank You in Advance.

    Hi @Hailuz ,

     

    In my personal opinions, there's no point using Power Pages if your data source is not Dataverse, however, i believe you can set up Virtual Entities in CRM and put on the portal. Here is the blog by @nhayduk

    Cheers,

    Hi @Hailuz ,

    Power Pages are built on top of the Dataverse so there is no alternative options. Please check this official documentation on how Power Pages work with virtual tables - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-pages/configure/virtual-tables. But in short - if you are using supported providers you can use CRUD and virtual tables support table permissions.
