Azure SQL Server connector details

The Microsoft SQL Server connector captures real-time change data (CDC) from your SQL Server database and streams it into Estuary collections, ensuring continuous synchronization across systems.

  • Continuous CDC ingestion: Streams inserts, updates, and deletes directly from SQL Server’s CDC change tables into Estuary collections for real-time data pipelines.
  • Broad platform support: Works seamlessly across self-hosted, Azure SQL Database, Amazon RDS, and Google Cloud SQL instances.
  • Automatic schema and instance handling: Detects new capture instances when DDL changes occur (like added columns) and automatically transitions to updated change tables.
  • Granular permissions and automation: Supports automatic capture instance management and change table cleanup when granted db_owner privileges.
  • Flexible and secure connectivity: Connect via SSH tunneling or IP allowlisting for on-premise and cloud-hosted deployments.
  • Customizable configuration: Includes advanced tuning options for backfill chunk size, table skipping, and metadata tagging.

💡 Tip: For optimal reliability, enable Automatic Capture Instance Management to let Estuary handle table-level CDC setup and schema evolution automatically, while ensuring the user has the necessary db_owner privileges.

FLEXIBLE LATENCY

From <100ms CDC and real-time streaming to scheduled batch, depending on connector capabilities.

From <100ms to batch

Estuary supports CDC, real-time streaming, incremental syncs, and scheduled batch across its connector ecosystem. Capture data from Azure SQL Server using the cadence supported by the connector, then transform and deliver it to the destinations your team uses.

  • Connect Azure SQL Server to warehouses, databases, data lakes, search platforms, and event systems through Estuary-supported destinations.
  • Capture once and reuse Azure SQL Server data across transformations and multiple downstream destinations without rebuilding source extraction.
