Business value

With Power Automate, you don't sacrifice performance when you call stored procedures. You get an easier experience with action-based apps through improved paging and refreshing.

Feature details

With Power Fx, you can call stored procedures directly. Add a SQL Server Database object to your data sources, and then access stored procedure actions from the database object. This approach helps you avoid the OnStart performance impact that comes with calling Power Automate.

When you use stored procedures, you don't need to move data in and out of collections. This approach improves performance.

Working with stored procedures differs from working with basic tables. You can't filter the results directly. However, you might be able to filter results if the stored procedure includes filtering parameters. For more information, see Connect to SQL Server from Power Apps.
