Can dw cs3 connect directly to sql server database without a testing server?

I'm new to dreamweaver but have used script tools that link directly to my sql server database.
Not in dw, so far. As of this early stage, I don't have or want to use a web server, and it's blocking me
without one. I just want to prototype without a testing server, directly to my database. And while I'll try php
later, I didn't want to have to get into it or cold fusion, etc. right away.

Can dw connect directly to sql server database without a testing server?

I'm running XP sp 3 at this point, and don't see IIS. There's probably some security issues
I'll have to tangle with. The goal is for my website to end up on the company intRAnet, not the www.

fwiw, I can Build in Data Link Properties and get a successful test to my sql server database via
Microsoft Data Link, but once I go back and try the test in OLE DB Connection it balks on the testing server,
as I don't have one locally or otherwise. Isn't there a way to link to db without a testing server?

Thanks for any insights.
