Documentation for Microsoft SQL credentials. Use these credentials to authenticate Microsoft SQL in n8n, a workflow automation platform.
You can use these credentials to authenticate the following nodes:
Create a user account on a Microsoft SQL server database.
Refer to Microsoft's Connect to SQL Server documentation for more information about connecting to the service.
To configure this credential, you'll need:
To set up the database connection:
Enter the SQL Server Host Name as the Server. In an existing SQL Server connection, the host name comes before the instance name in the format HOSTNAME\INSTANCENAME. Find the host name:
Enter the SQL Server Instance Name as the Database name. Find this name using the same steps listed above for finding the host name.
MSSQLSERVER instance name.Enter your User account name or ID.

For the Port:
1433.Server is listening on to identify the port number you should enter.You only need to enter the Domain name if users in multiple domains access your database. Run this SQL query to get the domain name:
SELECT DEFAULT_DOMAIN()[DomainName];Last updated on
Select whether to use TLS.

Enter the number of milliseconds n8n should attempt the initial connection to complete before disconnecting as the Connect Timeout. Refer to the SqlConnection.ConnectionTimeout property documentation for more information.
Enter the number of milliseconds n8n should wait on a given request before timing out as the Request Timeout. This is basically a query timeout parameter. Refer to Troubleshoot query time-out errors for more information.
Select the Tabular Data Stream (TDS) protocol to use from the TDS Version dropdown. If the server doesn't support the version you select here, the connection uses a negotiated alternate version. Refer to Appendix A: Product Behavior for a more detailed breakdown of the TDS versions' compatibility with different SQL Server versions and .NET frameworks. Options include:
