Writing directly to the SQL Server database is not supported in Microsoft Dynamics CRM

SUMMARY

You cannot write directly to the Microsoft SQL Server database in Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

The following operations that are performed directly to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SQL database are not supported: triggers, stored procedures, ODBC connections with other applications, create, read, update or delete operations. For example, you cannot create custom tables in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SQL database.

MORE INFORMATION

The Microsoft Dynamics CRM software development kit (SDK) documents the supported methods for customizing the Microsoft Dynamics CRM application beyond the customization tools that are provided in the application. The SDK documents all the entities and methods that can be used to take advantage of the power of the CRM class library.

The Microsoft Business Solutions CRM SDK is now available on the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN). This SDK contains many resources that are designed to help you build powerful vertical applications by using Microsoft Dynamics CRM. The documentation provides a wide range of instructive and practical information and includes the following:
  • a comprehensive class library reference
  • conceptual overviews
  • integration details
  • database schemas
  • sample code

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
