How to connect to a database with server name and protocol?

[td7]

I'd like to connect to a database that I normally access through a vendor tool. I don't know the kind of database, e.g., SQL server, Oracle, etc. What I know is the server name and protocol and log in as follows:

Server Name: site url for the database, e.g, abc.vendorsite.com\db

Protocol: WebSockets

User Name:xxxx

Password:xxxx

Is it possible to connect to it in Alteryx? Appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Hi @td7, 

I found this post which seems to relate to something like this : https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/How-to-connect-to-WEB-SERVICE/td-p/193...

On the over hand, you could contact the vendor and ask them if there are any other way to connect to this base. It's often using apis, it may need a little bit of work to setup but it should work.
