Hi guys,

My task required me to query data from MS SQL Server at another PC using LAN cable.

Do i need to install MS SQL Client at my PC to query data at MS SQL server PC using LAN or just using NI Database and Connectivity Toolkit? 

Also how setup need to be done?

Fundamentally you need to pick out a driver that supports remote communication (readme has specific info on ms sql), then you make a configuration file or string which describes how you will talk to it (see link above), and then you use that to initiate a connection as shown in the examples in the example finder.
