Real-World Use Case: Extracting Order Data from a Database
# A bot is processing customer orders from an SQL database.
* Retrieves orders into a DataTable.
* Uses Get Row Item to extract:
* Order Number
* Total Price
* Customer Email
* Uses the extracted data to send email confirmations.
# This ensures smooth automation of order processing!
Why the other options are incorrect?
# B. Get from Collection - Used for retrieving values from dictionaries, not DataRows.
# C. For Each Row in Data Table - Iterates through rows, but does not retrieve specific column values.
# D. Lookup Data Table - Used for searching values in a table, not retrieving a column from a row.
