Storing Reports in MSSQL Database

By default Sahi stores its reports in a H2 database which is bundled in Sahi. Sahi reports can now also be logged in MSSQL database. To store in a MSSQL database, do the following:

Create a Database

Create a database in MSSQL using any MSSQL client. Let us assume that the name of the database is sahireports

Creating Tables

The tables will be created automatically, once Sahi is restarted after performing the following steps. There is no need to run the db script manually.

Add MSSQL Driver Jars to Sahi Classpath

Download the MSSQL Connector, extract and copy mssql-jdbc.jar to sahi/userdata/extlib folder (create if needed).

infoMSSQL Connector version 6.4.0 and later are supported.

infoChoose a mssql-jdbc.jar that supports your Java runtime. For example, to use MSSQL Connector version 6.4.0 with Java 8, copy mssql-jdbc-6.4.0.jre8.jar to sahi/userdata/extlib folder.

Point Sahi to use the MSSQL Database

Add the following to userdata.properties in sahi/userdata/config folder

# Specifies database type.
# The inbuilt options are "mysql", "h2" and "mssql"
# Change jdbc parameters accordingly
db.type=mssql

#JDBC parameters for mssql database
db.driver_name=com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
db.jdbc_url=jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=sahireports
db.user_name=sa
db.password=abcd123

Change the user_name, password and database name as required.

infoSSL handshake exception may occur for MSSQL Connector version 10.2.0 and later. This occurs when your SQL server does not have a trusted SSL/TLS certificate. To fix this, append trustServerCertificate=true to the connection URL as in the example below.

db.jdbc_url=jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=sahireports;trustServerCertificate=true

Restart and Run

Restart Sahi. This will create the required tables in the database.

Run a script and check!
