MS SQL is no longer just a database
What if your MS SQL environment could pull structured data directly from web resources — using the same operational model it already applies to internal data? With Web Data Source, MS SQL expands beyond storage and analytics into direct web ingestion, allowing teams to scrape paginated web resources and land the results straight into SQL tables — without introducing external ETL services or breaking enterprise security boundaries.
In this model, MS SQL isn’t just the destination — it becomes the control plane for web data ingestion:
- Scraping jobs are defined and triggered from SQL Pagination, limits, offsets, and crawl parameters are expressed as SQL-level configuration, not brittle scripts.
- Web pages expand into relational form Paginated resources are normalized into predictable tables — rows, columns, keys — ready for joins, views, and analytics.
- Incremental collection fits native SQL workflows Track page numbers, cursors, timestamps, and deltas using standard SQL logic instead of custom glue code.
- No ETL handoff layer Data flows directly into MS SQL tables — no CSV exports, no message queues, no external schedulers.
- Governance stays inside the database boundary Permissions, auditing, validation, and lifecycle management use the same SQL controls teams already rely on.
All of this operates inside a controlled access environment with enterprise-grade security, supporting air-gapped compatible, isolated environment deployment, private network crawling, secure data extraction, Zero-Trust architecture, no internet dependency, and full data sovereignty compliance.
