Microsoft SQL Writeback Connector
Intro
Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system developed by Microsoft. Use this connector to export your data from a Domo DataSet to a Microsoft SQL Server database. For more information about the Microsoft SQL Server API, visit their website. (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa174556(v=sql.80).aspx).
You export data to a MS SQL database in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the MS SQL Database Writeback connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Prerequisites
To configure this connector, you will need the following:
-
A Domo Client ID and Client Secret. To obtain these credentials, do the following:
-
Log into your Domo developer account at https://developer.domo.com/login.
-
Select the desired data and user application scope.
-
Click Create.
-
-
Your MS SQL database or schema name.
-
The hostname or IP address of your MS SQL database server, such as db.mycompany.com.
-
Your MS SQL Databaseserver port number.
-
Your MS SQL username and password.
-
The port number for your MS SQL server.
You can also include the URL for an MS SQL CA certificate, though this is optional.
Configuring the Connection
This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the MS SQL Writeback Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Credentials Pane
This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your Domo developer account as well as the table in your MS SQL database where you want your data to be copied to. The following table describes what is needed for each field:
Field |
Description |
---|---|
Domo Client ID |
Enter your Domo client ID. |
Domo Client Secret |
Enter your Domo client secret. |
Username |
Enter your MS SQL username. |
Password |
Enter your MS SQL password. |
Host |
Enter your MS SQL database hostname. |
Port |
Enter your MS SQL database port number. |
Database |
Enter the name of your MS SQL database. |
Certificate |
Paste the text for your MS SQL SSL CA certificate. |
For more information about obtaining these credentials, see "Prerequisites," above.
Once you have entered valid credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to set up a new Domo-MS SQL connection. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.
Details Pane
This pane contains a number of fields for specifying your data and indicating where it's going.

Description |
---|---|
Input DataSet ID |
Enter the DataSet ID (GUID) for the DataSet you want to copy to MS SQL. You can find the ID by opening the details view for the DataSet in the Data Center and looking at the portion of the URL following datasources/. For example, in the URL https://mycompany.domo.com/datasources/845305d8-da3d-4107-a9d6-13ef3f86d4a4/details/overview, the DataSet ID is 845305d8-da3d-4107-a9d6-13ef3f86d4a4. |
