How to connect to MS SQL 2000

Question

Hi,
We have a MS sql server 2000 machine.
I need to execute a select query on one particular db table of that server and retrieve data.
I need to do this operation from xp mahine and both machines are in same domain.
I am given access to that particular db of that server for my ID.
Can I access that ms sql database by writing ordinary jsp program by giving servername and username?
Or do I need to install some client tool to execute the query.
Please give me suggestion how to do that?
Thanks in Advance.
