I have earlier used Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/use-sql-server-management-studio) with Azure SQL [here](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/sql-database/) but I want to try [DbVis](http://www.dbvis.com/) (a platform independent alternative). I am trying DbVis in OSX. I could find JDBC driver for SQL Server [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/jdbc/download-microsoft-jdbc-driver-for-sql-server) but not sure whether this required to use DbVis with Azure SQL in OSX.

**Which driver do I need to select to connect to the Azure SQL in DbVis?**
