Invoke SQL Database
A database is a data structure that stores organized information.
• Database automation is used to create unattended processes and self-updating procedures for administrative tasks in a
database.
• The automation of databases and their procedures reduces errors on deployments, improves reliability, and increases the
speed of implementing changes.
Install Database Package

3. Drag a Load Python Script activity in the Do section of the Python Scope and add the file
path to the XXX.py (create a python file) Python script in the File property.
4. Create a new PythonObject variable and add it into the Result property field.
5. Add an Invoke Python Method activity and configure its properties as follows:
• Input Parameters - {2,3}
• Instance - Add the variable created at step 4, to this field.
• Name - Add the name of the method inside the script you want to use, in this case
add.
• Result - Create a new PythonObject variable and add it to this property field.
