Microsoft SQL Databases as Data Sources

Applies to ReadyAPI 3.56, last modified on November 21, 2024

This tutorial describes how to use an Microsoft SQL Express server as a data source.

In this example, you will use the Microsoft SQL Express Server with a sample database and the virtual service to send the requests to.

jTDS Driver: In this tutorial, we use the Sybase jTDS driver. If your service does work with it, use the Microsoft jTDS driver that is provided with ReadyAPI instead.

NTLM.dll: Besides the jdbc driver, you will also need NTLM Auth .dll for authorization.
