Virtual table
A virtual table is a Dataverse component that represents data from an external source as a native table, without actually replicating the data. It allows you to query and report on external data directly within D365.
How do you use a virtual table to query external D365 data?
A virtual table is an incredibly powerful architectural tool because it allows your team to "see" and interact with data sitting in external databases – like a legacy payroll tool or a third-party warehouse app – as if it were part of your Dataverse, without needing to go through the complex, storage-heavy process of replicating that data into your system.
If your organization is suffering from "storage bloat" because you are manually copying huge datasets from other apps into D365, you are using the wrong strategy. We help you implement virtual table connectors, ensuring your system stays lean, performant, and always in sync with your broader software ecosystem, often as part of a Dynamics 365 custom development project.
Maintaining a lean data architecture demands dedicated, proactive technology management. Engaging an experienced technical team under a professional support contract guarantees that your virtual table integrations remain fully performant.
