Connect to SQL server

rlgarcia06

Good day

I have an SQL server as source of my data. What are my options to import this data to Anaplan?

 

Thank you!

Hi @rlgarcia06,

 

Please review our integration options. Anaplan Connect, and the listed 3rd party ETL tools all have SQL database connectivity.

Sorry for the confusion, the source data is from SQL Database. Can we use Anaplan Connect to automatically import data?

Hi,

 

The above still applies, Anaplan Connect, and ETL tools can read from SQL databases. Anaplan UI cannot connect to a database, you must give a flat file if you're uploading directly to a model from the UI.

 

Thanks,
Jesse

Thanks Jesse. Can you give more details on how to use Anaplan Connect for importing data from SQL databases? Because what I can only see is how to import flat files from the server using Anaplan Connect.

Hi Renier,

The Anaplan Connect guide provides documentation for connecting to a SQL database to extract data. It uses JDBC to connect to your database, and execute a query you define.
