Voile SQL Server Driver

This program is intended to connect Voile to a Microsoft SQL Server.

Getting started

1. Install SQL Server or run it in a container. For this example, we'll start a container. See below.
2. Connect to your SQL Server and create a database for Voile:

create database voile;
go

3. Create a user for Voile:

create login voile with password = 'V01le2345';
go

4. Grant owner privilege to the voile user on the voile database:

USE voile;
CREATE USER voile FOR LOGIN voile; 
ALTER ROLE db_owner ADD MEMBER voile;
GO

5. You're all set, happy DX'ing!

Starting SQL Server 2025 in a container

1. Create a folder for the volume:

mkdir /data/sqlserver

2. Set permissions on the volume:

chown -Rv 10001:10001 /data/sqlserver

3. Start the container:

docker run --rm -it -e "MSSQL_SA_PASSWORD=Voile12345" --memory=1G --name sqlserver -e "ACCEPT_EULA=Y" -v /data/sqlserver:/var/opt/mssql/data -p 1433:1433 mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2025-latest
