Microsoft SQL Server¶
Microsoft SQL Server can either be used as a data source or a data destination in Zuar Runner.
 
Source plugin example: Query
Destination plugin examples: CSV, Salesforce, SQL
Microsoft SQL Server as a Data Destination¶
- Zuar Runner automatically creates the Microsoft SQL Server database schema if it doesn’t exist 
- Zuar Runner automatically creates the Microsoft SQL Server database tables if they don’t exist 
- Zuar Runner automatically determines data types for Microsoft SQL Server columns 
- Zuar Runner automatically adds new columns to Microsoft SQL Server tables based on new fields in source systems 
- Zuar Runner automatically adjusts Microsoft SQL Server tables based on changes in source data 
Microsoft SQL Server Specific Setup¶
Below is the database url structure for connecting to a Microsoft SQL Server database:
mssql+pyodbc://<username>:<password>@<hostname>/<database>?<parameters>
Note
Microsoft SQL Server requires a parameter for the Microsoft SQL Server driver. Typically this is ?driver=ODBC+Driver+17+for+SQL+Server.
Here’s an example of using a Microsoft SQL Server database as a destination in a CSV job:
 
Note
When outputting to a Microsoft SQL Server database, leaving the “Schema” blank will create a table in the dbo schema.
SQL¶
Zuar Runner can send SQL statements to a Microsoft SQL Server database. Use Microsoft SQL Server syntax in these Zuar Runner SQL jobs.
