Use the SQL Server Snap Pack to read and write objects from your SQL Server database.
The SQL Server Snap Pack supports Geospatial data types (Geography and Geometry). This Snap Pack enables you to insert, read, and select Geospatial data types within the SQL Server database.
Use Snaps in this Snap Pack to:
Get a list of tables in a database.
Lookup records in the target table and return a selected set of fields.
Fetch data from a database.
Execute SQL statements to delete, update, merge, or insert data into a specified table.

Info
TIMESTAMP datatype in SQL Server is not supported. According to the Microsoft official document, "The timestamp syntax is deprecated. This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature."
The SQL Server Snaps express time up to the millisecond for date/time values, for example, 2019-11-05T00:34:55.007.
This Snap Pack supports the jTDS driver.
The SQL Server Snap Pack is upgraded to the Microsoft JDBC Driver 12.2.0.jre11. Existing pipelines that do not use the default driver (bundled with the SQL Server Snap Pack) are not impacted. If you want to use NTLM or other authentications with the latest default driver (where the DLL file is mandatory), then you must copy the DLL file to the Snaplex path.
Support Versions
This Snap Pack is tested against the following SQL Server versions:
11.00.2100
12.0.20008
13.0.4224.16
14.0.1000.169 (Windows AD)
16.0
This Snap Pack supports SQL Server 2008 to 2016.

Behavior change: As part of the JOOQ upgrade done in main25112, the SQL Server-InsertSnap displayed the following error when an empty string was inserted to an integer-type column: Caused by: java.lang.NumberFormatException: Character n is neither a decimal digit number, decimal point, nor "e" notation exponential mark Now, the Snap inserts a null value in this scenario.
February 2024
main25112
Stable
As of main25112, the SQL Server Snap Pack no longer supports the jDTS driver. If you are using the latest SQL Server driver versions (2014 and higher), we recommend you use the driver that is bundled with the SQL Server Snap Pack. Note that the older SQL Server versions are supported as is.

The SQL Server - Execute Snap now includes a new Query type field. When Auto is selected, the Snap tries to determine the query type automatically.
The SQL Server Snap Pack is upgraded to the latest version of the Microsoft JDBC Driver 12.2.0.jre11 for SQL Server:
Pipelines using the default JAR in the SQL server accounts might fail after the driver upgrade because the latest driver is backward-incompatible. To prevent your accounts from failing, reconfigure the URL properties field in account settings as follows:
trustServerCertificate = true
Pipelines NOT using the default driver (bundled with the SQL Server Snap Pack) will not fail. Note: This update will be a part of the stable distribution with the GA release on August 9, 2023. Learn more about the SQL Server driver upgrade: FAQ for Upgrading to SQL Server JDBC Driver 12.2.0
Fixed an issue with the SQL Server InsertSnap that was causing performance degradation between GA release 4.32 and 4.33 if the network connection between the Groundplex and the database server was slow.
