CRUD (Create, read, update and delete) Operations Through Gallery UI for Target DB Table

[jyeh]

It would be great for Alteryx to provide the UI to allow the user to maintain the data on the target table through Alteryx. The workflow application would be a standard way to maintain reference data.

This would allow us to deliver a quick way to interface with relational tables. Something similar to the following projects:

- django admin site

- phpgrid

- etc.

This would avoid using Microsoft Access for example for quick table edits and using the simplified Alteryx app instead

Hey @jyeh

I agree with the need - however I'd see this being delivered in a different way.

Many of the Enterprise Data Management platforms include 2 components that are not yet part of the Alteryx stable:

- Master Data Management.   This is the capability that you're referring to - and when done well it allows for versioning; enterprise dimensions; etc

- Data Quality tooling.   This allows the community to specify various different methods of data quality controls - like dictionary lookup; deduplication; etc.

So - in my mind this is half-way between the Connect platform; and the Server platform and by adding these capabilites we can bring this up to full parity with the competitors out there.
