Hello,
We are using an MS SQL server local installation (on a laptop) and Microsoft SQL Management Server Studio to perform queries.
How can I connect to this database? Do I need to add a custom JDBC driver or not? And what are the parameters I
need to enter when specifying the connection (as given in your instruction video ( which link I cannot use)
Best regards,
Ruud

Hi Ruud,
yes, you need to have a JDBC driver. The parameters are documented on the homepage of the MS SQL JDBC driver:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/jdbc/setting-the-connection-properties?view=sql-server-ver15
The exact settings depend on your database. For example, if you use integrated authentication or database users with passwords.
Which link didn't work for you?

Hi Balázs,I would like to test the JDBC driver somehow. There might be problems regarding the Java runtime (did I install it, can it be found, etc).Also, I don't know what to use for host and database name.Using C# to connect to the database, I have the following parameters:"Data Source=<computername>\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=<databasename>;User ID=sa;Password=xxx"Any suggestions how to do this? Using the rapidminer "Test" button only gives me very limited informationIt tells me a timeout occurred.Regards,Ruud
