The Phloem cloud — nothing to install

Lets you and Hamming query a Microsoft SQL Server database in T-SQL, with its tables listed in Trace.

#What Phloem reads

• Tables, columns and foreign keys of every schema in the database you name, listed in Trace for Hamming and SQL autocomplete
• Base tables only. Views are not listed, but you can still query them by name.

#What you need

• The server's host and port (default 1433), reachable from Phloem's cloud
• The database name
• A SQL Server login (username and password). A read-only login is best.

#Connect

1. In the console, open Connectors, choose Add connector, then SQL Server.
2. Enter a Display Name, then Host, Port, Database, Username and Password.
3. Under TDS Version, pick your server's protocol version (default 7.3 (SQL Server 2008+)).
4. Choose Test Connection, then Create Connection.

#What Hamming can do

• Run T-SQL that you or Hamming write

#Notes

• Phloem runs any statement, not only SELECT. Connect with a read-only login.
• Sign-in uses SQL Server authentication (username and password).

#Connection fields

What the Add connector form asks for.
