This connector supports SQL Server's functionalities listed in the table below, allowing for efficient and scalable data operations. Additionally, users benefit from all the powerful features of Hasura’s Data Delivery Network (DDN) platform, including query pushdown capabilities that delegate query operations to the database, thereby enhancing query optimization and performance.

This connector is built using the Rust Data Connector SDK and implements the Data Connector Spec.

Before you get Started

  1. Create a Hasura Cloud account
  2. Please ensure you have the DDN CLI and Docker installed
  3. Create a supergraph
  4. Create a subgraph

The steps below explain how to Initialize and configure a connector for local development. You can learn how to deploy a connector — after it's been configured — here.

Using the SQL Server connector

Step 1: Authenticate your CLI session

ddn auth login

Step 2: Configure the connector

Once you have an initialized supergraph and subgraph, run the initialization command in interactive mode while providing a name for the connector in the prompt:

ddn connector init <connector-name> -i

Step 2.1: Choose the hasura/sqlserver from the list

Step 2.2: Choose a port for the connector

The CLI will ask for a specific port to run the connector on. Choose a port that is not already in use or use the default suggested port.

Step 2.3: Provide the env vars for the connector

Name Description Required Default
CONNECTION_URI The connection string of the SQL Server database Yes N/A

Step 3: Introspect the connector

ddn connector introspect <connector-name>

This will generate a configuration.json file that will have the schema of your SQL Server database.

Step 4: Add your resources

ddn connector-link add-resources <connector-name>

This command will track all the containers in your SQL Server DB as Models.
