Cost of SQL connector?

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

 

I have office 365 E3 license so does every employee in my company. We have our SQL servers and I want to use it to store my PowerApps data. 

 

  1. Will every employee need a separate license for SQL? 
  2. If yes, what is the cost?
  3. Where can I purchase it?'

Is there an option available other Sharepoint which is free and reliable for storing database?

 

Regards,

Aakash

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    1. Yes if the Power App is directly connected directly to the SQL source
    2. Per-user licence of $10 US per month for one app (actually 2) or $40 per month for unlimited
    3. Microsoft - start here

    SharePoint is the best "free" (included in E3 licence) available. You can use Excel/OneDrive, but it has many more limitations than SharePoint.
