Delete an order (throw error if not found)

Deletes an order record by ID. Set ContineOn404Error=0 in the WITH clause to throw an error if the order ID is not found.

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.

DELETE Orders WHERE Id=1111111111111 (ContineOn404Error=0)

Using OPENQUERY in SQL Server

SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([LS_TO_SHOPIFY_IN_GATEWAY], 'DELETE Orders WHERE Id=1111111111111 (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) = 'DELETE Orders WHERE Id=1111111111111 (ContineOn404Error=0)'
EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_SHOPIFY_IN_GATEWAY]
