Highlights
- New HiveMQ Enterprise Extension for Microsoft SQL Server
HiveMQ Enterprise Extension for Microsoft SQL Server
This month, we are excited to introduce our latest HiveMQ platform extension: the HiveMQ Enterprise Extension for Microsoft SQL Server. This new addition to the HiveMQ platform bundle lets you store your MQTT data into the Microsoft Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) SQL Server. Microsoft SQL Server and Azure SQL are popular databases widely used in Microsoft environments and setups for data processing, storage, and analytics. Our new extension lets you integrate with SQL Server and Azure SQL to leverage the full value of your existing infrastructure.
How it works
The HiveMQ Enterprise Extension for Microsoft SQL Server supports unidirectional message flows from MQTT clients via the HiveMQ broker to the Microsoft SQL Server and Azure SQL databases. The extension can be configured to forward messages from MQTT topics to one or more database tables. Convenient insert statements help you easily write MQTT data and metadata into target database table columns.
Example HiveMQ Enterprise Extension for Microsoft SQL Server configuration file:
For detailed information on how to configure the new extension to meet your business needs, see our HiveMQ Enterprise Extension for Microsoft SQL Server documentation.
How it helps
Adding to the existing HiveMQ integrations for popular databases, data streaming platforms, and data lakes, the Microsoft SQL Server extension further expands your ability to write MQTT data to the database of your choice.
