Microsoft SQL Server + Bruin

SourceDestination

Ingest data from Microsoft SQL Server or push enriched data back — with quality checks, lineage, and scheduling. Defined in YAML, version-controlled in Git.

For business teams

What you get

  • Real-time warehouse sync

    Microsoft SQL Server tables replicate to your warehouse continuously. Analytics teams work with fresh data, not yesterday's export.

  • Catch issues at the source

    Quality checks validate Microsoft SQL Server data as it replicates. Null IDs, duplicate records, and schema drift get caught early.

  • Multi-source joins

    Combine Microsoft SQL Server with SaaS data, APIs, and other databases in your warehouse. One Bruin pipeline handles it all.

  • No untracked scripts

    Replication is defined in YAML, reviewed in PRs, and deployed with CI/CD. No more mystery cron jobs.

For data & engineering teams

How it works

  • CDC with merge strategy

    Bruin handles change data capture from Microsoft SQL Server with deduplication. Schema changes are detected and handled automatically.

  • YAML-defined, Git-versioned

    Your Microsoft SQL Server replication is a YAML file. Review in PRs, deploy with CI/CD. No more untracked database scripts.

  • Row-level quality checks

    Validate primary keys, foreign keys, and referential integrity on every sync. Catch corruption at the source.

  • Multi-source pipelines

    Combine Microsoft SQL Server with SaaS APIs and other databases in one pipeline. Bruin resolves cross-source dependencies.

Before you start

SQL Server instance running
SQL Server Authentication or Windows Authentication configured
TCP/IP protocol enabled in SQL Server Configuration Manager
Firewall rules for port 1433

Step 1

Add your Microsoft SQL Server connection

SQL Server connection format. Add this to your Bruin environment file — credentials are stored securely and referenced by name in your pipeline YAML.

Parameters

  • usernameSQL Server login
  • passwordLogin password
  • hostServer name or IP
  • portPort number (default 1433)
  • databaseDatabase name
  • encryptUse encryption (true/false)
  • trustServerCertificateTrust certificate
connections:
  microsoftsqlserver:
    type: microsoftsqlserver
    uri: "mssql://username:password@host:port/database"

Step 2

Create your pipeline

Define a YAML asset that tells Bruin what to pull from Microsoft SQL Server and where to land it. This file lives in your Git repo — reviewable, version-controlled, and deployable with CI/CD.

Available tables

dbo.CustomersSales.OrdersProduction.Products
name: raw.microsoftsqlserver_dbo.Customers
type: ingestr

parameters:
  source_connection: microsoftsqlserver
  source_table: 'dbo.Customers'
  destination: bigquery

Step 3

Add quality checks

Add column-level and custom SQL checks to your Microsoft SQL Server data. If a check fails, the pipeline stops — bad data never reaches downstream models or dashboards.

Validate row counts are within expected range
Ensure primary keys are unique and not null
Catch schema drift with freshness checks
columns:
  - name: id
    checks:
      - name: not_null
      - name: unique
  - name: created_at
    checks:
      - name: not_null

custom_checks:
  - name: row count within expected range
    query: |
      SELECT COUNT(*) BETWEEN 1 AND 10000000
      FROM raw.microsoftsqlserver_dbo.Customers

Step 4

Run it

One command. Bruin connects to Microsoft SQL Server, pulls data incrementally, runs your quality checks, and lands clean data in your warehouse. If a check fails, the pipeline stops — bad data never reaches downstream.

Backfill historical data with --start-date
Schedule with cron or trigger from CI/CD
Full lineage from Microsoft SQL Server to your dashboards 
$ bruin run .
