Connection String

info

This feature allows you to connect to databases that aren't officially supported by DataChat. While it may work for testing or limited use cases, functionality is not guaranteed, and full support is not provided.

Requirements​

To connect DataChat using a connection string, you’ll need a raw connection string to a database of your choosing. Ask your administrator if it's provided by your organization.

Add Your Connection String Database​

To add your connection string database:

Connection string

  1. Give the database a display name. This is how you'll reference the database across DataChat.
  2. In the Connection String field, enter the connection string needed to connect to the database.
  3. Optionally, set the database to be read-only.
  4. Test your database, then click Save.

For example, if you'd like to connect to a MySQL or SQL Server database, you could enter something like: mssql://<username>:<password>@<hostname>:<port>/<database name>?Encrypt=yes&TrustServerCertificate=no&Connection+Timeout=5

For questions about database support, reach out to your DataChat administrator.
