What is the correct URL format to connect to my mssql server? Per the quick start on github it’s:

```auto
Database.connect("jdbc:h2:mem:test", driver = "org.h2.Driver")

```

This doesn’t appear to be right to me as my server isn’t h2. I am new to android development and I don’t complete a great deal of database work, for the most part front-end improvement, But I am learning Kotlin.  
I am utilizing JetBrains/Exposed in my project as it says it works with [SQL server](https://mindmajix.com/msbi-training) syntax.

Thanks,  
Sailaja

There’s an example of an SQLServer connection on the wiki: [DataBase and DataSource · JetBrains/Exposed Wiki · GitHub](https://github.com/JetBrains/Exposed/wiki/DataBase-and-DataSource#datasource)
