Examples
SSIS
Use Azure DevOps Connector in API Source component to read data or in API Destination component to read/write data:
Delete rows from WorkItems table using API Destination
This Endpoint belongs to WorkItems table, therefore you cannot work with it directly. Use this table and table-operation pair instead:

ODBC application
Use these SQL queries in your ODBC application data source:
Delete work item
SELECT * FROM delete_workitem
WITH
(
"Project" = 'abcd-1234-project'
)
Delete a specific work item by its Id
DELETE FROM WorkItems WHERE Id = 7455
Delete work items match with Wiql Query
DELETE FROM WorkItems
Where 1=1
WITH(Query='SELECT * FROM WorkItems Where [System.TeamProject]=''MyProject'' AND ([System.Id]=6469 OR [System.Id]=6468) ')
delete_workitem
endpoint belongs to
WorkItems
table(s), and can therefore be used via those table(s).
SQL Server
Use these SQL queries in SQL Server after you create a data source in Data Gateway:
Delete work item
DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'SELECT * FROM delete_workitem
WITH
(
"Project" = ''abcd-1234-project''
)';
EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_AZURE_DEVOPS_IN_GATEWAY];
Delete a specific work item by its Id
DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'DELETE FROM WorkItems WHERE Id = 7455';
EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_AZURE_DEVOPS_IN_GATEWAY];
Delete work items match with Wiql Query
DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'DELETE FROM WorkItems
Where 1=1
WITH(Query=''SELECT * FROM WorkItems Where [System.TeamProject]=''''MyProject'''' AND ([System.Id]=6469 OR [System.Id]=6468) '')';
EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_AZURE_DEVOPS_IN_GATEWAY];
delete_workitem
endpoint belongs to
WorkItems
table(s), and can therefore be used via those table(s).
