Export SharePoint lists to SQL Server tables

How SQList exports SharePoint lists and libraries to SQL Server tables

SQList exports your SharePoint lists as fully synchronised SQL Server tables. Querying your SharePoint list data from SQL tables will also have a dramatic effect on how quickly and efficiently you can query your data.

But for something that will save your organisation a lot of time and money, it is very simple to achieve.

Here’s how you do it:

• Create a database in SQL Server, then configure your SharePoint connections and database connections within SQList.
• Select the SharePoint lists you want to export from SharePoint to SQL Server.
• SQList will start to replicate your SharePoint data and will continuously update them, so you’re always querying live data.
• You’ll find tables in your SQL Server database corresponding to each SharePoint list you selected. You’ll also see a table for every lookup column with an auto-generated database relationship to the parent table.
  

That simple set up process gives you everything you need for unlimited live queries of your SharePoint data at lightning-fast speeds.

How SQList exports SharePoint to SQL

Once it’s connected to SharePoint and SQL Server, SQList builds and continuously updates indexed SQL tables for each of your lists or libraries. When your SharePoint data changes, so does the data in SQL Server. You’re always querying real-time data.
