# Supported databases

### Supported Databases

SQL Spreads connects to a range of databases — from Microsoft SQL Server, Azure SQL and PostgreSQL, to cloud data platforms through our Cloud Data Platforms Add-on. This page summarizes what's supported for each database, which plan it requires, and any current limitations.

#### Microsoft SQL Server and Azure SQL

**Full support.** All SQL Spreads features are available, including [Pivoting](/docs/pivoting-data-between-excel-and-sql-server), [Views](/docs/selecting-a-table-or-view) and [SQL Server Tools](/docs/intro-to-the-sql-server-tools-feature).

**Plan:** Included in all plans. Signing in with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) authentication requires the Pro or higher plan. [See pricing →](https://sqlspreads.com/pricing/)

**Supported authentication methods:** Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, and Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) Authentication.

#### PostgreSQL

You can connect SQL Spreads to PostgreSQL databases to read, edit, and manage data directly from Excel.

**Plan:** Included in all plans (Basic, Pro, Premium and Enterprise). [See pricing →](https://sqlspreads.com/pricing/)

**Limitations:** Views and Pivoting are not currently supported. We’re evaluating adding support for these features in a future release. The tools for creating new database tables from Excel tables, as well as modifying and copying existing tables (SQL Server Tools), are also not currently available.

#### Cloud Data Platforms Add-on: Snowflake, Databricks, and Microsoft Fabric

The Cloud Data Platforms Add-on connects SQL Spreads to Snowflake, Databricks, and Microsoft Fabric, so you can read and edit cloud data directly from Excel.
