(Microsoft SQL Server can also be used as LabKey Server's primary database server. For more information see Install Microsoft SQL Server.)

The MS SQL Server Driver

Use the jTDS JDBC driver for MS SQL Server.

Download the driver from jTDS JDBC.

Place the driver JAR file in your Tomcat library path:

TOMCAT_HOME/lib

Configure the MS SQL Server Data Source

Add a <Resource> element to your installations labkey.xml configuration file. Use the template below as a general starting point, replacing the words in capitals with their appropriate values.

<Resource name="jdbc/mssqlDataSource" auth="Container"
        type="javax.sql.DataSource"
        username="USERNAME"
        password="PASSWORD"
        driverClassName="net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver"
        url="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://localhost:1433/DATABASE_NAME"
        maxActive="20"
        maxIdle="10" 
        accessToUnderlyingConnectionAllowed="true"
        validationQuery="SELECT 1"/>

Define a New Schema

Now define a new schema from the SQL Server data source. For details see Set Up an External Schema
