This document will help you connect your SQL Server database to Zenlytic to access modern, LLM-powered business intelligence.
Connection Name
First, you'll name your connection. This name is how Zenlytic's model connects the credentials you'll enter in the next step to your data warehouse. You can name the credential whatever you want, but we usually recommend naming it something like my_company_name
to keep things simple.
Host
The host for SQL Server is the "Endpoint" value in your AWS console (if you're using AWS RDS). If you're not using AWS, you must get the host value and enter it.
In this example using SQL Server Express 2019 hosted on RDS, the host (privacy obscured) is sql-server-demo.blahblahblah.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com
Username
This is the username for your SQL Server user. You'll create a user in SQL and use that username/password combination to let Zenlytic connect to your database.
In this example, we'll assume your username is sql_server_user
Password
This is the password associated with the user you entered above.
Database
The database is where you have the data you're interested in SQL Server. In this example, we'll assume your database is named analytics
Port
The default port is 1433
, so leave this field empty unless you've changed the value for the port.
Schema (optional)
This is the schema you want to use as a default. This field is optional and is usually left blank.
IP Whitelisting
If you use IP whitelisting in your data warehouse, whitelist the following IP addresses:
184.73.175.163
18.209.132.30
