How to update a SQLServer table with an uploaded Excel?

[PowerRon]

Hi 

On a monthly basis another application needs to send us a list of account-id's.
We need this list to make a selection of data for these specific account-id's.

Following is the requirement we had in mind:

1. User from another application uploads an Excel workbook from his local system, using Powerapps. The Excel workbook contains around 6000 rows.
2. Once he clicks the upload/submit button, a power automate flow is triggered
3. Power Automate will connect to our SQLServer database and do the next action:
   1.  truncate the target table
   2. insert all the Excel-rows in the target table
4. Once completed, the user is notified

I am pretty new to Power Apps / Automate. But I am looking for people pointing me in the right direction and maybe referring to a video or article on internet where this requirement is shown.
Eager to learn , so hope you can help. Thnx

Regards

Ron

@PowerRon please check this out 

This blog demonstrates how to read excel in batches, this also has the sample flow attached, you can download and make changes are per your requirement

If you implement above flow, you need to add action and logic to dump data in sql which would be straight forward
