  Windows Authentication is NOT supported; you must include username and password credentials in the string.

  

• Click the SAVE button on the top right to store your configuration.

   

Your connection will be verified automatically – you will see a green tick if everything is working.

Additional Info

• SQL connections are only available on Premium accounts and they must be an Administrator level user to see the option.

• The SQL user-specified MUST have at least db_ddladmin and db_datawriter database-level roles assigned.
  For the simplest configuration, grant db_owner role to the user.
