# SQL Server plugin

SQL Server plugin
=================

Microsoft® SQL Server® is a relational database server that stores and retrieves data as requested by other software applications, be it from the same computer, other computers, across a network, or from the internet. This plugin interacts with the SQL Server’s `sqlcmd` command line tool.
