Microsoft SQL Server
Connect to SQL Server from Airplane tasks and runbooks.
The Microsoft SQL Server resource allows tasks and runbooks to connect to a Microsoft SQL Server
database. For a high-level introduction to resources, see the resources page.
Creating a Microsoft SQL Server resource
Creating a Microsoft SQL Server resource
To create a new Microsoft SQL Server resource, visit
resources for your team, click the "New" button,
and select the Microsoft SQL Server resource type. Enter your connection details in the form:

Name should be a human-readable name for your resource.
Host should be the IP address or DNS name of your database. Unless you're connecting to this
database behind a self-hosted agent (see Private Networking below), this should be the public IP
address and/or the public DNS name of the database.
IP whitelisting
IP whitelisting
If your database has restrictions on incoming network connections, you'll need to ensure the
Airplane IP addresses are whitelisted:
- 34.121.89.145
- 34.68.100.27
- 34.72.182.225
Private networking
Private networking
To connect to a database inside a private VPC, you can self-host the agent
and run the agent within your own VPC. Since tasks and SQL queries run on agents, these tasks will
run from within your network and be able to connect.
Accessing from tasks
Accessing from tasks
You can issue SQL queries against your Microsoft SQL Server resource from tasks by using the SQL
SDK. See SQL SDK reference for more information.
