====== SQL Server Source ======

Connection to a Microsoft SQL Server database.

**SQL Server and Client ** \\
SQL Server is a client/server database and an SQL Server database must be installed on the machine that contains the database file. GeoScene3D needs an SQL Server client to be able to connect to the database, e.g., [[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/aa937733|SQL Server Native Client]]. The client must be installed on the machine that runs GeoScene3D.
