Answer 1

just create an ODBC of your database from control pannel -> administrative tools -> data sources (ODBC) ,double click it .....
go to the tab SYstem DSN , click on ADD button. select the driver for your connection. it will be the last one in the list "SQL Server".
click Next then give ur DSN name there, description and Server Name , on next give your username and password of SQL server. when it will be connected to the server celect your database from there and hence there will be an ODBC bridge same as in case of MS Access.
code for connecting to ODBC is
// DSN-NAME same as in System DSN.
// username and password are of your databse
try
          url = "jdbc:odbc:DSN-NAME";
          Class.forName( "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" );
          connect = DriverManager.getConnection( url,"username","password" );
          catch ( ClassNotFoundException cnfex ) {
                    setErrorMsg( cnfex.getMessage() );
          catch ( SQLException sqlex ) {
                    setErrorMsg( sqlex.getMessage() );
          catch ( Exception ex ) {
                    setErrorMsg( ex.getMessage() );
Now you are connected to the SQL Server ..... use connect object for further processing .........
