# SQL Server

To use SQL Server, an SQL-srv account has to be used as opposed to a Windows-authenticated (AD) account. Furthermore, the following is required:

1. Database host
2. (Optional) Database port
3. Database name
4. Database username
5. Database password

{% hint style="info" %}
Using a host with like machine01instance?\
Write it like this: machine01instance
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Password **cannot** contain `$` signs.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
When your SQL Server does not have a valid SSL Certificate you will get an error like \`The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted\`. Unfortunately the SQL Server driver is not able to disable the verification on the fly. The solution for this is to close the installer, remove the .app-runtime and app.config.yaml file and start over. This second time, check both advanced settings before submitting.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.infotopics.com/mailscheduler/getting-started/setup/repository-database/sql-server.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
