Create team in a project

Creates a new team in a specific project by passing the project ID in the WITH clause. Supply the team name and description. Use when the default project is not the target project.

Standard SQL query example

This is the base query accepted by the connector. To execute it in SQL Server, you have to pass it to the Data Gateway via a Linked Server. See how to accomplish this using the examples below.

INSERT INTO Teams (Name, Description) VALUES
('PosProject Team', 'This is the team who will be working on the Point of Service project.')
WITH (ProjectId='85kd1641-5555-49b1-9c5e-22c22a61d4c4')

Using OPENQUERY in SQL Server

SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([LS_TO_AZURE_DEVOPS_IN_GATEWAY], 'INSERT INTO Teams (Name, Description) VALUES
(''PosProject Team'', ''This is the team who will be working on the Point of Service project.'')
WITH (ProjectId=''85kd1641-5555-49b1-9c5e-22c22a61d4c4'')')

Using EXEC in SQL Server (handling larger SQL text)

The major drawback of OPENQUERY is its inability to incorporate variables within SQL statements. This often leads to the use of cumbersome dynamic SQL (with numerous ticks and escape characters).

Fortunately, starting with SQL 2005 and onwards, you can utilize the EXEC (your_sql) AT [LS_TO_AZURE_DEVOPS_IN_GATEWAY] syntax.

DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'INSERT INTO Teams (Name, Description) VALUES
(''PosProject Team'', ''This is the team who will be working on the Point of Service project.'')
WITH (ProjectId=''85kd1641-5555-49b1-9c5e-22c22a61d4c4'')'
EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_AZURE_DEVOPS_IN_GATEWAY]
