title: Query SQL Server from SPSS how to connect
body: <p>I am at a total loss on how to do what I think is a fairly simple and standard task:</p>
  
  <p>I am running SPSS 20 on Mac and want to connect to a SQL Server database on a remote server. </p>
  
  <p>When going to <code>File -&gt; Open Database -&gt; New Query</code> (The command names may be a bit off, my SPSS is in German and I'm just translating) it only shows myodbc as data source. I assume I have to add a driver for SQL Server however I don´t really know where to get it or how to install it as I cannot find it in the SPSS installation at hand. Anyone can help me out?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot in advance!</p>
