Build powerful custom apps and interfaces on top of your existing SQL data sources, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Google Cloud SQL. With these new connections, you can: Grant read-write access to entire SQL tables Write custom SQL queries to pull read-only data Extend your SQL data…

I feel like a whole new world is opening up. In my case, this world is totally unknown. It’s going to be incredible. (An incredible learning opportunity too.)

Trust me you would love SQL. Easy way to query your database on demand, and transform those dynamically.

Same for me! I have a few questions about the new functionality. I don’t know if anyone can answer them: 1. Performance: Question: Will SQL sources be more performant than big tables? Explanation: My customers find the Big table experience to be a bit laggy currently. The loading animation, the …

Thanks for the questions @Flowcode ! Taking a stab here… Performance – It depends on your setup. SQL data isn’t mirrored in Glide, so your app queries the SQL data source directly. Your server, network configuration, DB optimization, etc… will all affect the performance. (BTW: If you’re running in…

Hey Andy, This has really spiked my interest. Like the other fellow I have began developing on a different platform because the application we need to build has around 7000 customers, and that requires 7000 users. We could filter that down to 1200 users but that still wouldn’t be supported by Glid…

@Franky_Boy - Sending you a DM. :+1:

Thank you for the elaborate answer! Answered all my questions! In short, if I understood correctly: it’s possible to load huge amounts of data through SQL queries (and manual reloading whenever data changes) so that’s a big step up for Glide! Real-time data for large data sources (e.g. like Glide T…

Hola @NoCodeAndy Just a question to clarify a doubt: Can we have several SQL data sources at the same time in an APP? E.g., can we connect and read data simultaneously from a MS SQL Server, a MySQL and a PostgreSQL server from the same APP? Also, any chance to have a free trial period to test t…

[image] gvalero: any chance to have a free trial period to test this at least? I believe end of January 2024 we can test it in Business trial. I hope :slight_smile:

Hey @gvalero , thanks for the questions. Yes, you can connect multiple SQL data sources at the same time We’re currently sticking with Enterprise teams for the beta; we’ll make an announcement if/when that changes
