SQL Server - BonData Documentation

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system widely used in enterprise environments, offering strong integration with the Microsoft ecosystem. With BonData, you can connect directly to your SQL Server database to read, enrich, and act on your data within Agent workflows.

Database Connection

BonData connects directly to your SQL Server database using standard connection credentials.

Step 1: Prepare Your Database

Ensure your SQL Server is accessible from BonData’s IP addresses. You may need to:

Configure your firewall to allow connections on port 1433 (or your custom port)
Enable TCP/IP connections in SQL Server Configuration Manager
Ensure SQL Server authentication is enabled (mixed mode)

Step 2: Create a Read-Only User (Recommended)

For security, create a dedicated read-only user for BonData:

-- Create a login
CREATE LOGIN bondata_user WITH PASSWORD = 'your_secure_password';

-- Create a user in your database
USE your_database;
CREATE USER bondata_user FOR LOGIN bondata_user;

-- Grant read access
ALTER ROLE db_datareader ADD MEMBER bondata_user;

Step 3: Gather Connection Details

Collect the following information:

Host: Your database server hostname or IP address
Port: Usually 1433
Database: The name of the database to connect to
User: The username created above
Password: The password for the user

Step 4: Connect in BonData

Enter your connection details in BonData to establish the connection.

Required Fields

Field	Description
Host	Database server hostname or IP address
Port	Database server port (default: 1433)
