SQL Server

Connect SQL Server to query your databases data in Queringo.

At a glance

Setup

1. Open Connect source

   In the app, go to Data sources and choose Connect source. Open the Databases tab and select SQL Server.

2. Enter connection details

   Provide the host, port, database name, and a read-only user and password. The default port is 1433. Enable SSL/TLS if your database requires it, or configure an SSH tunnel for a private network.

3. Save the connection

   Queringo tests the connection before saving, then discovers the schema. PII is flagged and masked by default during discovery.

Where to find these in your provider

1. Open SQL Server Management Studio (or your cloud's portal) as an administrator.
2. Create a login: CREATE LOGIN queringo WITH PASSWORD = '…';
3. Create a user in the target database mapped to that login and grant the db_datareader role.
4. Confirm the SQL Server instance is reachable on port 1433 from Queringo's address.

Test the connection

Queringo runs a connection test as part of saving. If it fails, the error message indicates what to check (credentials, network reachability, or scope). From Data sources, you can re-run Test connection on the source row any time, for example after rotating a secret or changing network rules.

Edit or rotate

To change connection details (host, port, or database), open the source from Data sources and edit it. To swap only the secret (password, key file, or token), use Rotate credentials so existing dashboards and alerts keep working. See Rotating credentials.
