Business value
Customers can now create virtual tables using the OData and custom data providers, and they can enable full CRUD (Create, Update, Retrieve, RetrieveMultiple, and Delete) operations. The providers are shipped with the platform, and as part of this release, the providers are automatically updated.
Feature details
Virtual tables enable the integration and use of data residing in external systems. The virtual table providers are used to create and represent the data as tables in Microsoft Dataverse. Before this update, both the OData and custom providers only supported read-only operations (Retrieve and RetrieveMultiple) for virtual tables. With this release, the virtual tables support all CRUD operations, making it even easier to use these external tables in the application and integration scenarios.
