Is there a way to connect to Microsoft SQL Server database without needing the database toolbox?
Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to connect to Microsoft SQL Server database without the database toolbox?? I did some research on JDBC and OBDC drivers, but am unsure where to go from there. I can install the drivers and see how far I can get, but before taking this step and doing the setup, I would like to know beforehand if it is possible to connect to Microsoft SQL Server database without the database toolbox. The two following links look like I need database toolbox to connect to it.

I am using 2015a btw student edition. Any help and suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
