Spring Tool Suite - Setting up Database Connection to MS SQL Server 2012 - sql-server-2012

I am trying to create a new connection profile from within the Database Development perspective in Spring Tool Suite version 3.7.0. I need to connect to SQL Server 2012. In the dialog box where I need to specify the driver and connection details, I do not have an option of adding a driver jar and connection URL for MS Sql server 2012. The list goes only upto sql server 2008. Any thoughts on how I could connect to sql server 2012?
Thanks!

Connecting to SQL Server via DBeaver instead of SQL Server Management Studio

I am trying to connect to SQL Server using Windows authentication in DBeaver. Although I can easily connect via SQL Server Management Studio, DBeaver is generating a connection error:
No sqljdbc auth in java.library.path
Not sure why unlike DBeaver, SQL Server Management Studio can connect without any problem, but is there any instruction on how to ensure right JDBC driver (I think 32 bit) is installed and configured so I can connect via DBeaver?

Connect to Azure Database from SQL Server

I am connecting to an Azure hosted SQL Server using SSMS and am getting an error I can't track down. This happens when I open the connection and try to select a database to use or try to refresh the database list.
Reference to database and/or server name in 'msdb.dbo.syspolicy_configuration' is not supported in this version of SQL Server.
For the best experience with Azure SQL Database please download for free the latest version of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). Please download it from here.
The latest version of SSMS is compatible also with SQL Server 2008 and later.
SSMS 2012 is not compatible with many changes and improvements Azure SQL Database has received the last 6 years.

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2008 missing any instance of a server

So i just installed the Server Management and when i try to connect to server it gives me an error. I went to SQL Server Configuration Manager and there i dont have nothing. I have empty lists where the server instances should be. So i dont have any running local server.
So someone can tell me how i'm suppose to set some server instance or what i'm doing wrong ?
I installed the Server Management on Windows 7, 32-bit OS, and i need exacly this version of 2008 and i dont need the updated versions at this point.
SQL Server Management tool is just a GUI for you SQL Server. SQL Server is a separate installation. If you are trying to control a remote SQL Server you will need to add that to the management UI, local servers should show up automatically if you install SQL Server locally.
You can download SQL Server 2008 - Express Edition from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30438
It will install SQL Server which your Management Studio can connect.

Why there is no any Sql Server in Add Connection list

I use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional (I installed all components).
Here is what I'm trying to do. I create a new ASP.NET project. Then I open Server Explorer (View->Server Explorer), right click on Data Connections and choose Add Connection. Then I choose Microsoft SQL Server and press Continue, but the 'Server name' list is empty.
I launch Sql Server Configuration Manager and it shows that SQL Server is in running state (Agent and Browser are stopped)
Why there is no any Sql Server in Add Connection list?
--------------------------------------------------------------
I allow remote filestream for SQl Server, so no I can choose server in the list, but when I enter new database name and click Ok I get a error "sql server was not found or was not accessible"
--------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a list of installed programs with 'SQL' filter
Have you configured SQL Server to allow remote connections? By default, SQL Server Express Edition and SQL Server Developer Edition do not allow remote connections.
For SQL Server 2005:
How to configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remote connections
For SQL Server 2008:
From start menu of SQL Server 2008, run SQL Server Configuration Manager.
From left side view of SQL Server Configuration Manager, expand SQL Server Network Configuration.
In the right view, you will see the list of SQL Server protocols. By default only Shared Memory is enabled. Enable the other protocols to get your SQL server to accept connections over the network.
Your problem appears to be that you have more than one SQL Server instance installed locally. You will need to use the fully qualified name.

Download SQL SERVER AGENT - Microsoft SQL Server

I have downloaded SQL SERVER MANAGEMENT STUDIO but SQL SERVER AGENT is not found.
Should I install it separately?
Can anybody tell me the link where SQL SERVER AGENT is available as a Freeware to download it?
The agent is not visible if you use SQL Server Management Studio Express to connect to an SQL Server. You need to install the client tools that come with the server setup to get SQL Server Management Studio.
If you are using SQL Server Express, it has no agent.
SQL Server Agent is a service of SQL Server, not SQL Server Management Studio (which is, in and of itself, an administration tool).
Since SQL Server Agent is part of SQL Server, it's not free. You can learn about creating a job in SQL Server Agent here.
What, pray tell, are you actually trying to do?
You (or your company) will need to purchase the full version of SQL server in order to use this functionality.
The other option is to find the command-line instruction that will achieve what you want and then use Windows Task Scheduler to run the command on the schedule you want.
