Connecting Microsoft SQL Server to Amazon Q Business
Note
Microsoft SQL Server connector remains fully supported for existing customers through May 31, 2026. While this connector is no longer available for new users, current users can continue to use it without interruption. We are continuously evolving our connector portfolio to offer more scalable and customizable solutions. For future integrations, we recommend exploring the Amazon Q Business Custom Connector Framework, designed to support a broader range of enterprise use cases with enhanced flexibility.
Microsoft SQL Server is an relational database management system (RDBMS) developed by Microsoft. You can connect your Microsoft SQL Server instance to Amazon Q Business—using either the AWS Management Console, CLI, or the CreateDataSource API—and create an Amazon Q web experience.
The Amazon Q Microsoft SQL Server data source connector supports MS SQL Server 2019.
Important
As a best practice, provide Amazon Q with read-only database credentials. Also, avoid adding tables with sensitive data or personal identifiable information (PII).
