ODBC application

Use these SQL queries in your ODBC application data source:

Update a file

Updates a file 

UPDATE Files
  WITH (Id='1EVzXFVBQIh3LcJvfcLhI1UWhW3qUxFkM'
  ,DiskFilePath='C:\MyFiles\myfile.ext')
  --You can get file Id by selecting from 'list_files' endpoint

update_file endpoint belongs to Files 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:

Update a file

Updates a file 

DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'UPDATE Files
  WITH (Id=''1EVzXFVBQIh3LcJvfcLhI1UWhW3qUxFkM''
  ,DiskFilePath=''C:\MyFiles\myfile.ext'')
  --You can get file Id by selecting from ''list_files'' endpoint';

EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_GOOGLE_DRIVE_IN_GATEWAY];

update_file endpoint belongs to Files table(s), and can therefore be used via those table(s).
