Getting data from a second SQL table

I have 2 tables "Release" and "Users". In Release, I have a "Created by", "Released by", and "Assigned to" column. They are id number associated to the User table. Currently my set up is this, where if "Release\Assigned to" is equal to "User\ID".

Is there not a better way? This has to crawl the whole User table, and does it 2 other times for Created and Assigned. I thought of filtering the User table, but then I would need to call the SQL connector 3 times in total. Would that be better?

Hi @sobenson ,

I am assuming you are using the Get Rows action?

Perhaps you could use Execute Query or Execute Stored Procedure? This way, you can write a query with OR conditions i.e. where 'Created By' = 'ID' OR 'Released By' = 'ID' OR 'Assigned To' = 'ID'

Hi @eric-cheng,
Thanks for the reply. I had not though of the Execute Query. My current solution is with "Get Rows"

and it seems to work better then the flow I have above, but I use that connector 3 times, one for "Created", once for "Released" and once for "Assigned".
I am still learning and looking for the best solution.

Hi @sobenson,

Glad to hear. The Get Rows action will do the same thing as Execute Query as long as you specify the odata Filter Query.
