Key Features

No Coding Required

Create a RESTful OData service for your SQL Azure database in minutes without a line of code! Expose your tables via drag-n-drop, include or exclude fields visually, and Skyvia Connect will take the rest.

Built-in Security Layer

You don’t need to give credentials to the exposed SQL Azure database. Instead define user names and passwords to your OData endpoint on the Skyvia side. If this is not enough, you can also limit access to the allowed IPs and IP ranges.

Detailed Logging

Skyvia logs all connections to your Connect OData services with user accounts and IP addresses, all their requests and queries. Whenever necessary you can monitor which users access your data and what they do with them.

Step 3
