Can I use Workflow +Edge to connect to databases via JDBC and run + capture SQL

Can I use Workflow +Edge to connect to databases via JDBC and run + capture SQL. Or is it only possible to run HTTPS connections?

You can do just http/https calls. There is no direct support of jdbc or any database engine in AppEngine. However, you can deploy rest2jdbc solutions and call them using EdgeConnect.

Thank you. Is rest2jdbc an extension?

Where can I find Dynatrace docs on how to deploy this?

No, not an extension. I meant some generic rest to SQL solutions such as postgrest , oracle ords or data api builder. There are dozens of such projects, choose what fits your architecture and supports your databases.
