Update project by ID

Updates an existing project by its ID. Set the columns you want to change (e.g. Name, Description, Visibility); the WHERE clause targets the project. Use when you need to rename a project, change its description, or update visibility.

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.

UPDATE Projects SET Description = 'The system we use for implementing point-of-service walk-in payment systems and phone payments.'
WHERE Id='1be9ccef-45d7-4574-af67-7dc6c0699b6a'

Using OPENQUERY in SQL Server

SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([LS_TO_AZURE_DEVOPS_IN_GATEWAY], 'UPDATE Projects SET Description = ''The system we use for implementing point-of-service walk-in payment systems and phone payments.''
WHERE Id=''1be9ccef-45d7-4574-af67-7dc6c0699b6a''')

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) = 'UPDATE Projects SET Description = ''The system we use for implementing point-of-service walk-in payment systems and phone payments.''
WHERE Id=''1be9ccef-45d7-4574-af67-7dc6c0699b6a'''
EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_AZURE_DEVOPS_IN_GATEWAY]
