SQL Server

SQL Server Driver

Use the SQL Server driver when you want T-SQL querying, schema browsing, and DBeagle’s shared results workflow against Microsoft SQL Server.

Default connection fields

Field	Default	Description
Host	Required	SQL Server host
Port	1433	Standard SQL Server port
Database	Optional but recommended	Default database
Schema	Optional	Default schema, commonly dbo
User	Optional	SQL Server user name
Password	Optional	Stored in VS Code SecretStorage
Use encrypted / TLS connection	false	Turn on when required by your server
Trust server certificate	false	Development fallback for untrusted TLS chains
Max pooled connections	Driver default	Optional pool cap
Timeout	Inherits global default	Per-connection timeout override in seconds

Recommended setup

• Set the default database and schema so table preview and autocomplete open in the right place.
• Turn on TLS for normal secured environments.
• Only turn on Trust server certificate when you explicitly trust the endpoint but cannot validate its certificate chain locally.

How SQL Server appears in DBeagle

SQL Server maps neatly into the shared DBeagle metadata model:

• database
• schema
• table or view
• column

Notes

• DBeagle supports SQL Server-specific preview syntax under the hood.
• You can work in mssql, tsql, or generic sql editors.
