AppSheet Integration with On-Premise SQL

[Roland_W]

I would like to connect AppSheet to an on-premise SQL database, but looking at documentation to do so, I came across this statement:

AVAILABILITY NOTICE: Use of DreamFactory to connect securely to an on-premises database is not available to new customer configurations. It will continue to work for existing customer configurations.


Can someone offer any additional explanation or guidance?  Is there a suitable alternative?

You will be able to connect to an On-Premise SQL if that SQL is available globally via internet

[Roland_W]

Is there a recommended data gateway or method for that?

My interpretation reading the documentation is that DreamFactory is not an option, is that correct?

Seems like it

Connect to an on-premises database - AppSheet Help

So your option would be to open access to it on your firewall

But when i select on premises database as a new source, it automatically opens the dreamfactory form. 

How can I disregard this request and proceed with the database connection?

Just select the database you use. MySQL, Postgres...

seems like it is required now to use dreamfactory api.
