I’m generating a page that I manually designed to fit on an 8.5x11 sheet when printed. It’s gross and dumber than it should be, but it works ---

I have pushed data into Airtable, and done some reporting using their templates. With PowerBI could you could push data to Axure using the API connector and the report on that. ---

@jnbridges doesn’t appear to be…the [Bubble roadmap is now public](https://bubble.io/roadmap), FYI, so we can all self-serve on these types of questions. ---

@jnbridges I recommend using the SQL connector plugin to write to a SQL database, then you can use any BI tool (PowerBI, tableau, Excel) to connect to the database and generate reports. I do wish the SQL connector could sync to a database out of the box, but it looks like you have to write the code manually. You can use MySQL or a Azure SQL database. @emmanuel do you know of any good examples for using the sql connector to sync a bubble table with a SQL table? -James [repartconsulting.com](http://repartconsulting.com) ---

Hey James, have you been able to find a good example of how to sync bubble to Azure SQL? ---
