Sharepoint Online List 1 million records

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Caloy 18

Hi everyone,

Is it okay for powerapps to connect in a sharepoint list with a 1 million records? or it's not suitable ?

I know it has a limit of 2000 records and it's okay for me, but can a search function runs okay with 1 million records sharepoint list?

Will the speed of loading records still remains? 

Actually the 1 million records is in sql database, and we are planning to migrate it to sharepoint list.
Is it better that I connect it to sql server on-prem to powerapps rather than  migrating it to sharepoint list then connect the list to powerapps?

If sql is better, can I connect to our sql server on prem for free without some payments?

 

Note: I am using Sharepoint Online


Any reply, would be so much appreciated thanks.

Thanks for any kind of suggestion.

    Hi @Caloy,

    I think that you would be better off sticking with Sql rather than SharePoint for two reasons (there may be more). First, Sql currently supports the most Delegatable functions from Powerapps. See - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/delegation-list and second, I have run into problems with hard limits on creating Powerapps from large Sharepoint lists. (This may be due to some internal limits in my account in Sharepoint so I am not sure if you would run into the same problems). I hope this helps.
