You can do it, but if you stuff that process up (e.g. touch the wrong tables/schemas) you’re now dealing with a more complex recovery. Also are you applying migrations with CREATE OR REPLACE etc? I find that much harder to collaborate

MS PowerApps, PowerAutomate and related offerings are truly awful products. I’ve given them the benefit of the doubt and been burned repeatedly. Don’t tar all no/low code tools with the same brush though. I’ve had good success with Ret
