In this section, we provide guides and references to use the AzureSQL connector.

## Requirements

Make sure if you have whitelisted ingestion container IP on Azure SQL firewall rules. Checkout [this](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/firewall-configure?view=azuresql#use-the-azure-portal-to-manage-server-level-ip-firewall-rules) document on how to whitelist your IP using azure portal.

AzureSQL database user must grant `SELECT` privilege to fetch the metadata of tables and views.

```sql
-- Create a new user
-- More details https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/statements/create-user-transact-sql?view=sql-server-ver16
CREATE USER Mary WITH PASSWORD = '********';
-- Grant SELECT on table
GRANT SELECT TO Mary;
```

## Metadata Ingestion

{% partial 
  file="/v1.3/connectors/metadata-ingestion-ui.md" 
  variables={
    connector: "Azure SQL", 
    selectServicePath: "/images/v1.3/connectors/azuresql/select-service.png",
    addNewServicePath: "/images/v1.3/connectors/azuresql/add-new-service.png",
    serviceConnectionPath: "/images/v1.3/connectors/azuresql/service-connection.png",
}

#### Connection Options

- **Username**: Specify the User to connect to AzureSQL. It should have enough privileges to read all the metadata.
- **Password**: Password to connect to AzureSQL.
- **Host and Port**: Enter the fully qualified hostname and port number for your AzureSQL deployment in the Host and Port field.
- **Database**: The database of the data source is an optional parameter, if you would like to restrict the metadata reading to a single database. If left blank, OpenMetadata ingestion attempts to scan all the databases.
- **Driver**: Connecting to AzureSQL requires ODBC driver to be installed. Specify ODBC driver name in the field.
You can download the ODBC driver from [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/download-odbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver16). In case of docker or kubernetes deployment this driver comes out of the box with version  `ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server`.
