Database: Getting Started 513
1 DB_CONNECTION=sqlite

SQL Server Configuration
Laravel supports SQL Server out of the box; however, you will need to add the connection
configuration for the database:
1 'sqlsrv' => [
2 'driver' => 'sqlsrv',
3 'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
4 'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
5 'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
6 'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
7 'charset' => 'utf8',
8 'prefix' => '',
9 ],
Read / Write Connections
Sometimes you may wish to use one database connection for SELECT statements, and another for
INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements. Laravel makes this a breeze, and the proper connections
will always be used whether you are using raw queries, the query builder, or the Eloquent ORM.
To see how read / write connections should be configured, let’s look at this example:
1 'mysql' => [
2 'read' => [
3 'host' => '192.168.1.1',
4 ],
5 'write' => [
6 'host' => '196.168.1.2'
7 ],
8 'driver' => 'mysql',
9 'database' => 'database',
10 'username' => 'root',
11 'password' => '',
12 'charset' => 'utf8',
