MSSQL Adaptor

About MSSQL​

Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) is a relational database management system (RDBMS) developed by Microsoft. It supports a wide variety of applications, including data warehousing, transaction processing, and business intelligence. It can be accessed and manipulated using SQL to extract or load data.

Integration Options​

The mssql adaptor provides direct database connections for accessing data and executing SQL and standard database operations. See functions for more on how to use this adaptor.

Authentication​

See MSSQL docs for the latest on supported authentication methods. When integrating with an MSSQL database via OpenFn, you authenticate via SSH using authorized database credentials. See this adaptor's Configuration docs for more on the required authentication parameters.

See platform docs on managing credentials for how to configure a credential in OpenFn. If working locally or if using a Raw JSON credential type, then your configuration will look something like this:

{
  "server": "something.database.windows.net",
  "database": "demo-db",
  "userName": "admin",
  "password": "@super(!)Password"
}
