How to send Chat message to MS SQL Server Express

If you are able to send messages to your SQL Server, you can store them, and it will be readable on the incoming messages database table. To do that, you need to add the SQL_User as a friend on the Ozeki Chat software. In this guide we will give you every information you need to be able to communicate with your SQL Server.

To have access to your chat partner list, please login to the Ozeki Chat. Type your ozeki e-mail address into the upper text box, and your password into the text box below. Press OK to login. You can see the login window on Figure 1.
