Configuration Keys:
- jdbc_string: This key represents the JDBC connection string used to connect to the SQL Server database. The connection string has the following format: jdbc:sqlserver://{{host_ip}}:{{port_number}};databaseName={{schema_name}};encrypt=true;trustServerCertificate=true;
- {{host_ip}}: Replace this with the IP address or hostname of the SQL Server machine.
- {{port_number}}: Replace this with the port number on which SQL Server is listening.
- {{schema_name}}: Replace this with the name of the database schema or catalog you want to connect to.
Note: The “encrypt=true;trustServerCertificate=true;” part of the connection string enables SSL encryption for secure communication with the SQL Server. If your SQL Server is not configured for SSL encryption, you can remove this part from the connection string.
- jdbc_path: This key represents the path to the JDBC driver file on your system. It should point to the location where you have stored the “mssql-jdbc-10.2.0.jre8.jar” driver file. Ensure that the path is correctly specified to enable the application to load the JDBC driver.
- jdbc_driver: This key specifies the fully qualified class name of the JDBC driver for SQL Server. In this case, the value is “com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver”. It is important to have the correct driver class name to ensure that the JDBC driver is properly loaded and registered with the Java application.
- username: This key represents the username or login credentials required to access the SQL Server database. Replace the placeholder “{{Username}}” with the actual username or login name associated with your SQL Server database.
- password: This key represents the password associated with the provided username or login credentials. Replace the placeholder “{{Password}}” with the actual password associated with your SQL Server database.
- query: This key represents the SQL query that you want to execute on the database. In this example, the query is set to “Select * from tablename”. Replace “tablename” with the actual name of the table or the desired SQL query that you want to execute.
