SQL Server using On Premises Gateway cannot retrieve tables

I am trying to connect Flow to a MS NAV 2018 Database.

 

I have installed the MS - On-Premises Gateway on an SQL Server. It has connected ok.

When I connect using Powerapps the tables display and can be accessed as expected.

However when using the same connection with Flow the tables cannot be retrieved.

I tried using a custom value to directly table name. That still did not work.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Thanks for updating.

     

    That might be the cause.

     

    Glad to hear that you have figured out the issue.

    Hi Mabel,

    Thanks for you reply. However that’s not the issue.

    I believe I have found my issue There are too many table in the SQL DB for Flow to retrieve. I have around 20,000 tables.

    If I enter the exact Table name I am after in Get Rows it works fine.

    Darren.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    SQL Server triggers only work for SQL Azure Database table, but not SQL on-premises tables.

     

    As you mentioned, you are using SQL on-premises, so I am afraid that it cannot be used in your scenario.

     

    Please check the following blog for more details:
