Connection to Azure MSSQL ODBC

If you do not have the MSSQL Server NATIVE SRV, MSSQL Server NATIVE SRV PDO and MSSQL Server ODBC drivers enabled, check below our documentation on how to enable both in Scriptcase for connection.

• To enable the MSSQL Server ODBC: Click here

ATTENTION: If you do not have an Azure MSSQL Server base created, check how to create it by clicking here.

Creating the DSN for connection

To connect to the MSSQL Server ODBC Driver, you need to configure a System DSN. Follow the steps described below to perform this configuration.

ATTENTION: ODBC must be created on the same server where ScriptCase is installed.

1 - Access your ODBC Data Source Manager and select according to your architecture. We will select the x64 version:

2 - When entering the ODBC Data Sources Administrator, select the DSN System tab and click on _Add to create your connection to your Database.

3 - After that, it is necessary to select the Driver to connect to the MSSQL Server. Select the Driver: ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server.

4 - Now, you need to define the name of the DSN, the description and the database connection server.

• Name: Enter the name that the DSN will have so that you can use it in Scriptcase.

• Description: Add a description for the DSN.

• Server: inform the server, port and database instance that you will connect to.

4.1 - After informing the data, click on the Next button to inform the user name and password required for connection.

• Login ID: Inform the user to authenticate with the database.

• Password: Enter the corresponding password to authenticate with the informed user.

4.2 - Now, click Next to select the default database.

To finish, click Next and finally, click Finish.

Creating a connection to Scriptcase

See below how to create a connection in your Scriptcase project, using the Enabled Driver (MSSQL Server ODBC) and the Azure MSSQL Server database.

1 - Access a project from your Scriptcase.

2 - Click the New Connection icon to create a connection

or access the Database> New connection menu.

After that, a screen will appear with all database connections.

3 - Select the Microsoft Azure connection.

4 - And choose the Azure SQL database.

Connection

Enter the parameters for connecting to your Azure MSSQL Server database as follows:

• Connection name: Define the name of your new connection. By default, Scriptcase adds the prefix conn along with the database name.

• DBMS Driver: Select the MSSQL Server Driver to connect. In this example, we use the MSSQL Server NATIVE SRV PDO Driver.

• Server/Host (Name or IP): Enter the Data Source Name of the Azure server.

• EX: mssql

• Port: Enter the port to connect to the MSSQL Server. By default, the port defined is 1433.

• Database Name: List and select the database you will connect to.

• EX: samples

• Username: Inform the user to authenticate the connection to your database.

• Password: Enter the password to complete the authentication process.

• Test connection: Click this button to get a response to the Scriptcase request to find out if the parameters entered are correct.

Filter

Accessing this tab, you can configure which Database items will be displayed on the connection, depending on the owner or not.

NOTE: By using table filtering, you eliminate unnecessary tables for your project and improves the performance of your database connection.

Advanced

In this tab, you have access to specific settings for the connection. The settings made in this session impact the data display and application performance.

• client_encoding: Select the encoding used in your database. In the example above, we use the client_encoding utf8.
