Business value

This feature will allow Power Apps built over SQL using Entra to move smoothly from Dev to Test to Prod. Customers will not need to drop the SQL Entra data sources in their app when they move it to a new environment.

Feature details

SQL will be available in the dropdown menu for creating an environment variable. You can specify the environment variable for SQL in the same way you do for SharePoint. For SharePoint, you specify a site, while for SQL, you specify a server. Similarly, for SharePoint, you specify a list, and for SQL, you specify a table.
