Overview

SQL, SQL File, and SQL Query macros use data sources to connect to and access your databases. Creating one or more data source profiles is the fastest and most convenient method of establishing a connection. You can also create data source profiles that extend data sources configured within your application server.

Info

You must provide at least one data source to use this application within Confluence.

...

Setup TypeFieldDescription
SimpleDatabase typeThe type of database you are connecting to.
SimpleData source nameYou have the option to create a new data source profile by extending an existing data source.  This may be useful if you'd like to tighten/alter the configuration parameter settings to be more/less restrictive for certain usage. You can of course then secure the usage using our CMSP app.
SimpleHostnameThis is the hostname or IP address of your database server.  
SimplePortThis is the port used to access your database on the server it is running against. 
SimpleDatabase This is the name of your database. 
BothDriver classThe class of JDBC driver that you will use to connect to your database (e.g., com.mysql.jdbc.Driver, or org.postgresql.Driver).
BothDriver JAR location

The path on your Confluence server where the JDBC driver is located.

Tip
titleStart with an absolute file reference

Usually, it is desirable to start with an absolute reference to make sure it is working. Relative references are more maintainable but can be problematic especially on Windows. After it is working, you can experiment with relative references.


By connection string
Anchor
connection_string
connection_string
Connection string
The database URL is entered in this format (SQL Server example):
jdbc:sqlserver://<hostname>:<port>;database=<database>

For example:  
jdbc:sqlserver://yourserver:1433;database=confluence

  • SQL for Confluence version 11.0.7 and above supports Connection string URL of unlimited length.

  • SQL for Confluence version 11.0.6 and below supports Connection string URL of length less than or equal to 255 characters. 

    Note
    titleSQL for Confluence: Downgrading to v11.0.6 and below
    • If the Connection string URL length is more than 255 characters; Appfire does not recommend downgrading the app version below 11.0.7. 
    • If the Connection string URL length is more than 255 characters, and you still downgrade and face issues, contact support.


Note

Once you select the By connection string option and start filling in the details of the Connection string field, the Simple (recommended) Setup type is disabled (for you to switch to Simple). If you want to enable the Simple option, empty the details in the Connection string field.
