MS SQL Server / Azure SQL Databases
ToolJet can connect to MS SQL Server & Azure SQL databases to read and write data.
Connection
To establish a connection with the MS SQL Server data source, click on the + Add new Data source button located on the query panel or navigate to the Data Sources page from the ToolJet dashboard.
