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.

The Sample - Microsoft SQL Server - 2.0.1 playbook collection comes bundled with the Microsoft SQL Server connector. These playbooks contain steps using which you can perform all supported actions. You can see bundled playbooks in the Automation > Playbooks section in FortiSOAR™ after importing the Microsoft SQL Server connector.
Note: If you are planning to use any of the sample playbooks in your environment, ensure that you clone those playbooks and move them to a different collection since the sample playbook collection gets deleted during connector upgrade and delete.
