How to join MS SQL Server 2012 to Dreamweaver CS6

Hello everyone.

Here's my question: Is it possible to link a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Database to Dreamweaver CS6, instead of the default MySQL Database?

I don't particullarily like MySQL because it's interface isn't familiar to me. Instead, I use s way more professional Database Management software, SQL Server 2012. I know that when I try to connect Dreamweaver CS6 to a database, I only have the option to link it to MySQL and I'd like to change it, or at least, to add the SQL Server to the options list. Is there a way to configure that or a kind of Dreamweaver plug-in or extension?

Please answear.

Best regards,

Since you refer to MySQL as the default database, I presume that you're talking about using PHP.

Yes, you can link to MS SQL Server - as long as you're willing to code everything by hand. If you're looking for automated code generation, though, the answer is no.

Even the default PHP/MySQL server behaviors are not really worth considering for professional web development. They're fine for quick prototyping, but they use deprecated functions that are not suitable for a production environment.
