@jesse @arikfr Could you please confirm if “Microsoft SQL Server is support on Self Hosted Redash”.
Appreciate your help on this

Yes, MSSQL is supported on Open Source.

You should add a port-forwarding rule to your Docker script. Without one, when Redash connects to localhost:5000 it’s pointing back into the Docker container which isn’t running a server :frowning: The port-forwarding rule should pass traffic from your Docker container back to your host computer.

Able to fix the issue by just using IP Address of the SQL DB Server instead of DNS Name as Server Name.

Thanks for all the support
