Adjust inventory level


Adjusts the inventory level of an item at a single location. Use Action='Adjust' in the WITH clause and provide the AvailableAdjustment amount (positive or negative).

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 InventoryLevels 
SET AvailableAdjustment=488, 
    LocationId=25801916516
WHERE InventoryItemId=43512276942948
WITH(
 Action='Adjust' --or set or connect
, ContineOn404Error=0 
)

Using OPENQUERY in SQL Server

SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([LS_TO_SHOPIFY_IN_GATEWAY], 'UPDATE InventoryLevels 
SET AvailableAdjustment=488, 
    LocationId=25801916516
WHERE InventoryItemId=43512276942948
WITH(
 Action=''Adjust'' --or set or connect
, ContineOn404Error=0 
)')

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_SHOPIFY_IN_GATEWAY] syntax.

DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'UPDATE InventoryLevels 
SET AvailableAdjustment=488, 
    LocationId=25801916516
WHERE InventoryItemId=43512276942948
WITH(
 Action=''Adjust'' --or set or connect
, ContineOn404Error=0 
)'
EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_SHOPIFY_IN_GATEWAY]
