Microsoft SQL Server

Microsoft SQL Server is a robust relational database management system with spatial capabilities. If you have geographic information in your SQL Server database, Felt provides a simple way to connect, query and visualize this data on a map.

  1. Create a new, read-only user on your database for Felt access

  2. Click on the Library () in the toolbar

  3. Click + New Source

  4. Select Microsoft SQL Server

  5. Enter Connection Details

    1. Source Name: name of the source in Felt

    2. Host & Port: host URL & port number: connection details to your database

    3. Database: name of the Microsoft SQL Server database

    4. Username & Password: database user’s credentials (not your Felt credentials)

    5. Who can see this source?: control access to this source within Felt

  6. Click Connect

  7. Once connected you will see a catalog of your data with previews for your new source

  8. From here you can add any of these layers to your spatial dashboards!
