Business value

With this feature, you can smoothly move Power Apps that use Microsoft Entra authentication over SQL from development to test to production. When you move your app to a new environment, you don't need to remove the SQL Microsoft Entra data sources.

Feature details

The dropdown menu includes SQL as an option for creating an environment variable. You can set the environment variable for SQL just like you do for SharePoint. When you set the variable, enter a server name for SQL and a site name for SharePoint. When you specify the data location, enter a table name for SQL and a list name for SharePoint.
