# Altium Enterprise Server
Our Altium Enterprise Server integration works by fetching data directly from your Altium database server (typically SQL).
*(Don't have Enterprise Server? We also offer a real-time* [Broken mention](broken://pages/xUOYlyHSTb6sVKG5Kglf) *integration and an import-based* [Altium Designer](/apps/a/altium-designer.md) *integration)*
### **Connect Altium Enterprise Server in Violet**
To connect Altium Enterprise Server, we'll start with an Altium Designer table discovery workflow. Every Altium Enterprise Server deployment is different!
To enable this, we will need read-only SQL access and connectivity to your SQL server (eg. via VPN or allowlist, more info [here](/resources/administrative/connect-self-hosted-software.md)). Additionally, it's helpful to have as 1-2 example parts (including item ID, revision, lifecycle state, and any parameter name/value).
Once Violet's discovery workflow is complete, follow the instructions below to set up an integration:
1. In [Violet](https://app.violetlabs.com/) (or [VioletGov](https://app.violetgov.com/)), navigate to **Integrations** and click to add a new integration.
2. Select **Altium Enterprise Server**
\[Optional] You can also provide a unique name for the connection based on the credentials you're using, and you can create **restricted permissions** to users or groups:
3. Provide the username and password for the SQL account, as well as the IP address, database name and port.
4. Click **Create**. You'll have the option to configure any integration options from there.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.violetlabs.com/apps/a/altium-enterprise-server.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
