Show the Results of a SQL Query in SharePoint 2013
Question
I need to display the results of a SQL query within SharePoint 2013. I have written the query, which is saved as a view within SSMS however can't see an obvious way to simply display the results, formatted as a table, within SharePoint.
I appreciate that I will need to define data connections to the SQL Server instance, however once that is in place I can't see an obvious way of adding the results.
I would appreciate any advice on how to achieve this - should I be using Reporting Services or can this be done natively within SharePoint with a web part (I assume that it can)?
Solution
You can use Business Connectivity Services to gather the data from SQL-Server. You can check the following link for detailed inforamtion about BCS: Business Connectivity Services in SharePoint 2013
