Creating a Common Data Service database
In this recipe, you'll create a Common Data Service (CDS) database from the Power Platform admin center to use as a data store for your apps. Using CDS as opposed to a source such as SharePoint removes the list item limit you may be familiar with, but you'll still be limited by database size. You can also connect to multiple data sources in a single location for your apps and reports.
Getting ready
Before you can create a database, you must have or create a Power Platform environment and be one of its admins. See the first recipe in this chapter, Creating a new Power Platform environment, for assistance if you need a new environment.
How to do it…
- Go to the Power Platform admin center at https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com.
- Select Environments from the left-hand navigation menu if you are not taken there by default.
- Select the name of the environment for which you're creating a CDS database...
