· Standard: Enter your SQL Server address in the Server field. This may be a web address or an IP address. In the Port field, enter the port number if you are using something other than the default port.  Enter the name of the Database and enter the database’s Username and Password.

Note: You should not use an existing SQL Server user to connect. You should instead create a new user with read-only access.
