Examples
SSIS
Use Shopify Connector in API Source component to read data or in API Destination component to read/write data:
Delete rows from Customers table using API Destination
This Endpoint belongs to Customers 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 a customer
SELECT * FROM delete_customer
Delete customers in BULK (read Id from external MS SQL database)
In this example we are reading customer Ids from external source system (Microsoft SQL Server) and sending it to Shopify. See other BULK examples to learn more about reading from other systems using ODBC or OLEDB connection.
DELETE FROM Customers
SOURCE('MSSQL'
,'Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=tempdb;Integrated Security=true'
,'select 111 as Id,1 as [$$ContineOn404Error]
UNION
select 222 as Id,1 as [$$ContineOn404Error]
'
)
delete_customer
endpoint belongs to
Customers
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 a customer
DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'SELECT * FROM delete_customer';
EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_SHOPIFY_IN_GATEWAY];
Delete customers in BULK (read Id from external MS SQL database)
In this example we are reading customer Ids from external source system (Microsoft SQL Server) and sending it to Shopify. See other BULK examples to learn more about reading from other systems using ODBC or OLEDB connection.
DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'DELETE FROM Customers
SOURCE(''MSSQL''
,''Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=tempdb;Integrated Security=true''
,''select 111 as Id,1 as [$$ContineOn404Error]
UNION
select 222 as Id,1 as [$$ContineOn404Error]
''
)';
EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_SHOPIFY_IN_GATEWAY];
delete_customer
endpoint belongs to
Customers
table(s), and can therefore be used via those table(s).
