I’m using a Zap to retrieve data from our MS SQL database. I need the zap to retrieve every row that match a certain parameter in a specific column. For instance, I need every row that has invoice # 3511151 in the invoice # column of the table. Is this possible?

I’ve figured out quite a simple workaround for this.
Firstly you need to run a Find Row via Custom Query in SQL Server statement that selects the key of each of the elements in your list. So if you imagine your table called FOOD is like this:
and you want to loop through all the elements that are type ‘Hot’
Run a SQL Select that looks like this:
select replace((stuff((select ',' + str(id) FROM Food where type = ‘Hot’ FOR XML PATH('')),1,1,'')), ' ', '') as ID
That will return a single element with the value ‘2,3’
You then use Create a Loop from Text that loops through each id in the results from above in turn with the sub loop elements able to reference each Key (Id) value in turn so you can update, or read or whatever using other SQL functions.

Hi
I added your vote for this feature request, we’ll update via email once available. Thanks!
Hi we would like to vote to enable multiple rows. It’s really stupid to not allow for multiple rows.
Please add too

I’m sorry that workaround didn’t do the trick here,
We’ll be sure to email you as soon as this feature request has been implemented! :)

Please add me to the vote.
And please add me as anther vote for this. Typical application would be to sync/add multiple contacts information from a MySQL db with a Contacts service.
Add me to this request please.
I kind of understand why you are not implementing this. It's costing you zaps… right? I mean it's super easy to implement

Could you please do the same for me as well? We would use the feature to retrieve all our customers that have birthdays that particular day and add them to a email list for that day!
Please add me as well.
Its essential for pulling multiple row for reports, so yes please
Please add my vote as well and kindly let us know if there is any progress.
Get my vote in as well please!

Hi
Prioritisation for feature requests and bugs is largely dependent on the number of customers affected. I can’t make any promises as to when it would be implemented but I’ve added your vote to the feature request which helps to further increase it’s priority.
In the meantime it might be worth giving the workaround Mark B shared here a try. 🙂
