Get SQL Database row by Id

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Meneghino 6,949

I have searched and tried and failed to get a row from a simple Azure SQL Database table via an Id input in PowerApps.

Here is what I tried, but the flow fails as shown below.  I have tried other syntax and also failed.

The table's primary key is the Id column of int type.

Please help, maybe @v-micsh-msft knows how.

    Another testing on this works:

    Previously I got the wrong table name.

    Would you please check it again?

    Sadly, this issue is because my particular table has a varbinary type column.

     

    The error is given as this:
    Execution Failure inner exception: The specified item '[dbo].[ZzzTestAttachments]' is not found. clientRequestId: aee821b6-ed3c-4cbf-8e64-21922de3fa5b

     

    However the real reason is that a varbinary(max) column will make the flow fail.

     

    Any votes for this idea would be welcome:
