Connector
SQL Server — everywhere it runs.
Line-of-business applications keep their truth in SQL Server — often in many instances on many networks. Query them all live, joined into one governed layer.
- Live at the source
- No replication
- Existing permissions
How Virtual Data Platform reaches Microsoft SQL Server
Outbound only
A Gateway inside the source's network connects outbound to your tenant — no inbound firewall rules, TLS on every connection.
Queried at the source
The Gateway queries the source directly through its connector, under the requesting user's own permissions — Microsoft Entra ID in, translated to the source's authentication.
Nothing persisted
Results stream back end-to-end encrypted and combine with your other sources in memory — no warehouse to fill, no copy to govern.
What teams do with Microsoft SQL Server
Report on operational data the moment it changes — no ETL window between the application and the answer.
Join SQL Server instances from different sites and networks into one Virtual Dataset.
Feed the databases behind your custom applications into Excel, Power BI and AI assistants — governed.
What this connector covers
- Tables & views
- Free SQL queries
- Stored procedures
New connectors ship regularly — missing a source you need? Just ask.
Consume it in the tools you already use
Model once, then query from anywhere — every request under the user's own identity.
See your own data live in 30 minutes.
Start with a live demo — we'll show your use case in Excel, Power BI, R, or through an AI assistant. Then take it further with a free trial in your own isolated tenant.
