Microsoft SQL Server

Microsoft SQL Server is a proprietary relational database management system developed by Microsoft. This article will cover how to connect to SQL Server using Noteable.

Prepare

You will need the following information to create the connection:
  • Host
  • Port (default: 1433)
  • Username
  • Password
  • Database
By default, Noteable will try to verify the server certificate. You can configure this by toggling on/off the “Verify Server Certificate” checkbox.
Noteable uses Version 18 of the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server to communicate with your SQL Server database.
Noteable supports SQL Server authentication with username and password only. We do NOT support the following authentication methods at this time:
  • ActiveDirectoryIntegrated
  • ActiveDirectoryPassword
  • ActiveDirectoryInteractive
  • ActiveDirectoryMsi
  • ActiveDirectoryServicePrincipal
If your data source is behind a firewall, you will need to ensure your firewall accepts incoming connections from Noteable. Read more: Data Connections​
