Using SQL Agent effectively involves:

- Define Users, User Groups, Device, and Device Groups in Kron DAM
- Define Policies and Realms
- Define Masking

To access SQL Agent, you should have an SSH connection to the target database server.

To execute the agent you should run one of the following commands:

- agent 
- agent  username\@db\_ip

To run it as a sys user, you can run the following command:

- agent / as sysdba

:::hint{type="info"}
SYS user should be added to Kron DAM to access as sys to the database.
