Connect to MS SQL server
In the SQL Server Configuration Manager, click SQL Server Services.
In the right pane that lists server services, right-click SQL Server Browser and select Start.
note
If the SQL Server Browser is running, you can skip this procedure.
Navigate to .
In the Services window, right-click SQL Server Agent(<server_name>) and select Properties. For this tutorial, <server_name> is MSSQLSERVER.
From the Startup type list, select Automatic and click Start.
In the SQL Server Configuration Manager, expand SQL Server Network Configuration and click Protocols for MSSQLSERVER, where MSSQLSERVER is a name of the Microsoft SQL Server instance.
In the list of protocol names, right-click TCP/IP and select Properties.
On the Protocol tab, from the Enabled list, select Yes.
On the IP Addresses tab, find the interface that your workstation uses and see the connection port. By default, the port is 1433. Verify that other running applications do not use the same port.
note
If you changed any settings, restart the server. For most situations, the restart resolves connection problems.
In the SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), navigate to .
Right-click the Logins root folder and select New Login.
On the General page, specify a login name in the Login name field.
Select authentication mode. You can select between the following authentication modes:
Windows authentication: to use your domain login and password.
SQL Server authentication: to use a custom login and password. If you select Enforce password security policy checkbox, the user must change the assigned password before connecting to Microsoft SQL Server with GoLand. Otherwise, clear the Enforce password security policy checkbox.
Click OK.
Right-click the created user profile and select Properties.
On the Server Roles page, select the appropriate user role (for example, sysadmin).
In the Database tool window ( ), click the Data Source Properties icon
. Alternatively, press ShiftEnter. In the Data Sources and Drivers dialog, click the Add icon (
) and select Microsoft SQL Server.Click the Driver link and select Microsoft SQL Server (jTds).
Check if there is a Download missing driver files link at the bottom of the connection settings area. Click this link to download drivers that are required to interact with a database. For a direct download link, refer to the JetBrains JDBC drivers page.
You can find the downloaded JDBC drivers in the GoLand configuration directory.
The IDE does not include bundled drivers in order to have a smaller size of the installation package and to keep driver versions up-to-date for each IDE version.
You can also use your drivers for the database instead of the provided ones. For more information about connecting to a database with your driver, see Add a user driver to an existing connection.
If there is no Download missing driver files link, then you already have the required drivers.
In Host, Instance, and Port fields, specify your connection details. If the server name (in our case,
DESKTOP) does not work, replace it with the server IP address.From the Authentication list, select User & Password.
In User and Password fields, specify your credentials.
Ensure that the connection to the database can be established using the provided details. To do that, click the Test Connection link at the bottom of the connection details area.
In case of any connection issues, refer to the Cannot connect to a database page.
(Optional) By default, only the default database and schema are introspected and available to work with. If you also want to work with other databases and schemas, in the Schemas tab, select them for the introspection.
Click OK to create the data source.
Find your new data source in the Database tool window (Alt01) .
To learn more about the Database tool window, see the corresponding reference topic.
tip
To see more databases and schemas under your new data source node, click the N of M button and select the ones you need. GoLand will introspect and show them.
To learn how to work with database objects in GoLand, see Database objects.
To write and run queries, open the default query console by clicking the data source and pressing F4.
To view and edit data of a database object, open Data Editor and Viewer by double-clicking the object.
In the Database tool window ( ), click the Data Source Properties icon
. Alternatively, press ShiftEnter. In the Data Sources and Drivers dialog, click the Add icon (
) and select Microsoft SQL Server.Click the Driver link and select Microsoft SQL Server (jTds).
