How to update a in SQL when it's modified in power apps?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by RobHajj98 496

Hello everyone,

 

I hope all is well,

 

My Concern:

I would like to update rows in SQL when the user updates them in Canvas.

It could be on change of each item or onClick of the save button, all the items will be bulk updated.

 

What I have:

In SQL:

I have a table with a column Id as a primary key in SQL and other fields.

 

In Canvas:

I have a gallery where I inserted some Text Inputs and Comboboxes.

 

So how can I update theses records in order to reflect the changes in Canvas in the SQL table?

 

Amy help would be highly appreciated,

 

Regards,

    One way would be to use the OnChange property of each control in the grid

    Patch(yourtable, ThisItem, {field1:Textinput1.Text}) or 

    Patch(yourtable, ThisItem, {field2:ComboBox1.Selected} or ComboBox1.SelectedItems for multiselect

    To remove a record from the table put an "X"  icon in the gallery with OnSelect:

    Remove(yourtable, LookUp(yourtable, id = ThisItem.id))

    Thank you @Drrickryp for your reply,

     

    One more thing, if I would like to bulk delete all the existing records in a SQL table from Canvas by using one button, how can I achieve that ?

    Theoretically, RemoveIf(yourtable, id=id). The problem is RemoveIf is not delegatable in SQL so it will only remove up to your record limit. Also it requires a call for each record so it would be painfully slow with a large data set using PowerApps. I don't know of a work around so you may need to do it in SQL itself, or copy just the schema of your table to a new table  in SQL and use the copy in PowerApps.
