Hello, 

 

Do anyone now what is the differences between the Database thing template and the MSSqlServer thing template?

Okay then the Database thing is the default/main thing template to use. I am guessing that the MSSqlServer thing template is a custom deployed to our environment via a extension. Thank you for the help.

We are using Thingworx 9.3.9.

Here, only "Database" thing template available. 

I hope, both are same.

Hi @STullberg.

 

You'll want to use the Database thing template.  It contains the logic for connecting to a JDBC database including SQL Server.  There is no MSSqlServer thing template.  I think you have it confused with the SQLThing thing template.

 

Regards.
