Hello all,
New to Power Platform and am diving in head first...ouch!
Can't seem to find a reference on this anywhere, so I'm asking the experts. We're in the midst of planning a migration from an on-prem SQL Server to a cloud based solution, which I believe will solve the issue I'm facing, but in the meantime, I need to continue to populate (CRUD) the SQL database. After struggling with record limits when connecting to SQL directly, I want to switch to using Dataflows and Dataverse. My flow from SQL to Dataverse is seamless and will prove to be the migration path in our future, more than likely. But today, it seems that the data only flows into Dataverse, not back to SQL (which would be incredible!) Can any of you confirm this and then post a possible path of least resistance for the next two years before the transition is complete?
Thanks in advance,
Ron Kochanowski
Hi @ronkochanowski ,
Data flows are uni-directional. It accepts data from different sources -> transform using power query-> finally push it to destination datasource. You can set refresh setting manually or automatically depends on the requirement. It only works with data and no metadata changes.
To understand overview of dataflow, please find below link.
If you are looking for data + metadata changes, try using azure data lake.
I hope it answers your question. If so, please mark it as solution.
Regards,
Prakash
