Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use the Power Apps template for SQL Server
The Power Apps template for SQL Server provides a ready-made app that can be connected to a database. Option A is wrong because model-driven apps require Dataverse. Option C is wrong because starting from blank is more complex. Option D is wrong because Power Automate is for automation.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Create a model-driven app
Why it's wrong here
Requires Dataverse, not SQL Server directly.
- ✓
Use the Power Apps template for SQL Server
Why this is correct
Provides a pre-built app for SQL Server data.
- ✗
Start from blank canvas and use SQL Server connector
Why it's wrong here
Starting from a blank canvas requires manual configuration of data connections, forms, and logic, which demands coding knowledge the user lacks. This approach is tempting because it offers full customisation for developers building complex apps from scratch. It would be correct for a user with coding experience who needs complete control over the app’s layout and behaviour, not for a no-code scenario requiring a pre-built data interface.
- ✗
Use Power Automate to create a user interface
Why it's wrong here
Power Automate does not create UIs.
