Update an order

Updates an existing order record identified by its Id. You can modify attributes like FulfillmentStatus, Phone, and Note.

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 Orders 
SET FulfillmentStatus = 'john.doe5@gmail.com',
Phone = '7705553111',
Note= 'This is a new note that needed to be added to the order later.'
WHERE Id=1111111111111

Using OPENQUERY in SQL Server

SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([LS_TO_SHOPIFY_IN_GATEWAY], 'UPDATE Orders 
SET FulfillmentStatus = ''john.doe5@gmail.com'',
Phone = ''7705553111'',
Note= ''This is a new note that needed to be added to the order later.''
WHERE Id=1111111111111')

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 Orders 
SET FulfillmentStatus = ''john.doe5@gmail.com'',
Phone = ''7705553111'',
Note= ''This is a new note that needed to be added to the order later.''
WHERE Id=1111111111111'
EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_SHOPIFY_IN_GATEWAY]
