How to connect database to Kanban

Hi,

I love Kanban and have finished my customizing.
Now I try to connect the board to a SQL server database for managing my business data.

Do you have any hint for me how to do this?


Kind regards,
Lars

You can manage your data by performing Kanban CRUD operations(edit, card drop, add, remove) with the help of Ajax Post Request.  
 
Please refer to the below codes,     
 
[KanbanFeatures.aspx]     
 
//Here you can perform Kanban CRUD operations(edit, card drop, add, remove) with the help of Ajax Post Request  
function kanbanComplete(args) {    
            var kbnUrl; 
            if (args.action == "add" && args.requestType == "save") 
                kbnUrl = "KanbanFeatures.aspx/AddAction"; 
            else if (args.requestType == "drop" || (args.action == "edit" && args.requestType == "save"))  
                kbnUrl = "KanbanFeatures.aspx/EditDropAction"; 
            else if(args.requestType == "delete") 
                kbnUrl = "KanbanFeatures.aspx/removeAction" 
            if (args.requestType == "delete" || args.requestType == "save" || args.requestType == "drop") { 
             var card = { 
                    "Id": args.data[0]["Id"],
