Adding the SQL Adapter to BizTalk Server Administration Console
The SQL adapter can be used in BizTalk either as a WCF-Custom port or a WCF-SQL port. If you want to use the SQL adapter through a WCF-Custom port, you do not need to add the WCF-Custom port to the BizTalk Server Administration console because the WCF-Custom port is added to the BizTalk Server Administration console by default. However, if you want to use the SQL adapter through a WCF-SQL port, you must first add the WCF-SQL adapter to the BizTalk Server Administration console.
This topic provides instructions on how to add the WCF-SQL adapter to the BizTalk Server Administration console.
