Query CRM database with SQL syntaxis

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by RaulOcana 8,270

Hi guys,

I'm adding a lot of customization and records to the system and every time I need to check if everything is ok, I have to request for a database backup, mount it locally and then use SQL Server to check all information.

Is there a way I can query the CRM database with the real data? If I can connect to the CRM using visual studio (SSRS) maybe I can query the database?

I can't do it using SDK because there I can query only using fetchXML or LinQ, but I need "grouping" and "having" to do my checklist.... any ideas please?

Regards,

Raul

    Hi Raul,

    Unfortunately there is no way of querying the Dynamics CRM Online database using SQL because of security restrictions. You might look to use SSIS to copy your database to a local database (www.kingswaysoft.com/.../ssis-integration-toolkit-for-microsoft-dynamics-crm) or using Power Query to query the data.

    Hope this helps,

    Scott

    Hi Scott,

    How could I copy my CRM database please? It is possible to only get a couple of entities, I don't need the whole database.

    Thanks,

    Raúl

    Hi,

    I would use Kingswaysoft's SSIS Toolkit to extract the data into a local SQL Server.
