Direct Query against on-prem source

Can Domo perform a direct query against an on-prem SQL Server instance? For example, if I have a database named "SalesDB" on my local SQL Server, can Domo connect to it and run a query like "SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE OrderDate > '2024-01-01'" directly?

I thought workbench would've have that option.

    You won't be able to use the file directly but you could set up a local SQL Server which reads that file and allows you to connect to it.

    I use Domo Workbench to directly query a SQL Server. You just need to create an ODBC connection on the computer running Workbench and then use that connection to your SQL Server.
