# SQL Server

## Configuration

### Prerequisites

If your database is hosted behind a Firewall, you need to add our [IP addresses](/concepts/data-sources.md#whitelisting-ip-addresses) to the Firewall whitelist.

### Connecting the data source

1. On the **Data sources** page, click **Connect**, and select *SQL Server* in the Data sources list.
2. Specify all the required credentials.
3. Click **Test connection** to check whether the data source can be connected, and then click **Connect Datasource** to complete the setup.

UI Bakery will extract the database structure and store column types. This data will be used to suggest the proper[ table columns and form field types](/concepts/components/work-with-components/field-types-and-types-recognition.md).

If you need to be able to override the default data source database with a custom value in an action, you can enable the **Allow override database name in action** setting in the *Data source connection* window.\
Once enabled you will be able to specify a custom database when configuring an action. In case a database is not specified, the default data source database will be used.

## Usage

Once you've established the connection between UI Bakery and SQL Server, you can start interacting with its data. Below is a list of *supported action steps*:

* [SQL Query](/reference/working-with-actions/sql-query.md)
* [Load Table](/reference/working-with-actions/load-table-action.md)
* [Load Row](/reference/working-with-actions/load-row-action.md)
* [Create Row](/reference/working-with-actions/create-row-action.md)
* [Bulk Create Rows](/reference/working-with-actions/bulk-create-rows-action.md)
* [Update Row](/reference/working-with-actions/update-row-action.md)
* [Delete Row](/reference/working-with-actions/delete-row-action.md)
* [Bulk Delete Rows](/reference/working-with-actions/bulk-delete-rows-action.md)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.uibakery.io/reference/data-sources/sql-server.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
