About the connector

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system, or RDBMS, developed by Microsoft. Its primary function is of storing and retrieving data as requested by other software applications—which may run either on the same computer or on another computer across a network.

This document provides information about the Microsoft SQL Server connector, which facilitates automated interactions with Microsoft SQL Server using FortiSOAR™ playbooks. Add the Microsoft SQL Server connector as a step in FortiSOAR™ playbooks and run queries on a Microsoft SQL Server.
