问题
I have a Microsoft Action Pack subscription with Office 365.
I would like to connect to an SQL SERVER database which is provided with Office 365.
I am banging my head on forums and google to find out how to access SQL server in Office 365.
I checked each option but none of them have an SQL SERVER installed.
Does Office 365 doesn't have SQL SERVER license? Do I need something like Windows Azure which comes with SQL. I am just lost here.
When I login the office 365 online screen looks like below.

To the best of my knowledge, neither SQL Server nor Azure SQL Database come included with an O365 subscription. There are a few options though:
- Azure SQL Database: To get a $200 free credits to evaluate Azure SQL Database, click "Get Started". Once you have your Azure account, you can create your first Azure SQL Database and then connect and query from Excel, for example.
- SQL Server Express: A free version of SQL Server than you can install on your laptop, server, or in an Azure VM.
- MSDN: If you have an MSDN subscription, SQL Server Developer edition is included for free.

Looking at this page, https://mspartner.microsoft.com/en/us/pages/membership/action-pack-software-licensing-benefits-faq.aspx, it does look like Microsoft Action Pack includes some product keys for software and Azure Credits. The Azure credits could be used towards Azure SQL DB if a product key for SQL Server is not part of the action pack bundle (I don't see it listed, but it isn't entirely clear to me what products are included).
