I have a problem connecting my node-red with a data base sql server.

I have installed the node-red-contrib-mssql 0.0.7.  
I have installed the microssoft sql 2019

I have seen on forums that sql server has to have tcp/IP protocol activated so i'he activated, then i have ensure that my sql acces is as autentification SQL server with a username and a password. And I have ensured that the sql server browser is running.

but my connection with the sql server still not works. which can be my mistake?

that node is old and pretty much abandoned.

I recommend you uninstall it and try [node-red-contrib-mssql-plus](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-mssql-plus) as it had much more features & is proven with MSSQL 2019.
