Connecting Custom Virtual Table Provider to Power Platform On-Premises Data Gateway

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 79

Hello everyone,

I'm working on a model-driven application that requires a connection to an on-premises SQL Server. My SQL Server database includes two tables, where one serves as a lookup for the other. Due to the need for a join query and the limitations of the existing SQL connector, I've developed a custom virtual table provider.

Now, I'm trying to figure out how to associate this custom provider with the Power Platform on-premises data gateway. Since the SQL Server is not publicly exposed, I believe I need to leverage the Power Platform on-premises data gateway.

Any guidance on how to link my custom virtual table provider with the Power Platform on-premises data gateway would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

    Hehe your dream is mostly likely share out there 😉 I would suggest to submit a Microsoft support ticket in hopes to get some support/guidance on this. It is indeed IMO lacking in documentation.
    Also, I would submit the idea at: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Ideas/idb-p/PowerAppsIdeas

    I had a dream, a SQL dream! I dreamt of a world where tables join hands, embrace each other's columns, and dance in perfect harmony. Alas, my SQL servers, shy and hidden from the public eye, decided to keep their columns to themselves. So here I am, stuck in a world where tables prefer solitude over a joined party. Oh, what a whimsical SQL dream it was!

    Hi, TaraAssadipour

     

    Did you try to use view in you SQL Server Query?

     

    I think this link can help you

    There are some limitations like cannot update or delete records in you SQL server database. But you will need a gateway
