I am currently working on putting together a basic application in web appbuilder. And I am wondering if I can make a connection to our SQL database to make the application data dynamic.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Bryan,
The JS API (which WAB uses under the hood) does not have the ability to connect to a SQL database directly. It use ArcGIS Server to communicate with GeoDatabases. Your other possibility is to develop a RESTful Web Service in .Net, then that web service can be used by an esriRequest to gain access to your database.
