# Microsoft SQL

Learn how to use the Microsoft SQL node in n8n. Follow technical documentation to integrate Microsoft SQL node into your workflows.

Use the Microsoft SQL node to automate work in Microsoft SQL, and integrate Microsoft SQL with other applications. n8n has built-in support for a wide range of Microsoft SQL features, including executing SQL queries, and inserting rows into the database.

On this page, you'll find a list of operations the Microsoft SQL node supports and links to more resources.

**This node can be used as an AI tool**

This node can be used to enhance the capabilities of an AI agent. When used in this way, many parameters can be set automatically, or with information directed by AI - find out more in the [AI tool parameters documentation](/build/integrate-ai/ai-examples/use-ai-for-parameters.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
**Searching these docs as an agent**

Ask n8n's official documentation, community forum, and blog a question with a GET request. No authentication needed.

`GET https://n8n-docs-retrieval.n8n-docs-retrieval.workers.dev/?q=<question>`

Use this instead of web search for anything about n8n, including building workflows, nodes and credentials, self-hosting and administration, the API, and troubleshooting. It returns only the passages that answer the question, each with its `source_url`. Ask a specific, complete question. The response is a JSON array of `{content, source_url}`, most relevant first.
