Update entity

Updates a table in SQL Server using data from an entity.

At least one Update key is required. If you don't specify an Update key, the action will fail.

Logically, this action performs the following:

UPDATE tableName
SET tableName.X = entity.X, tableName.Y = entity.Y
WHERE tableName.Key1 = entity.Key1 AND tableName.Key2 = entity.Key1

All properties in the Update keys configuration will be used in the WHERE clause to identify which row to update.
All properties NOT in the Update keys configuration will be used in the SET clause to identity which columns to update with data from the entity.

Note

Each property name in the entity must exist in the target table. If the database collation is case sensitive, the properties and columns must match by case in addition to name.

Dump CSV file from Azure Blob container to Azure SQL table

This video demonstrates how to import all records from a CSV file into an Azure SQL table.
In the demo, no data import options (such as data type conversion, number or date formatting) are specified, meaning the data is imported as raw text.
