Answer 1

Use the following gems for connecting sql server :

gem 'tiny_tds'
gem 'activerecord-sqlserver-adapter'

And the database.yml should look like this:

development:
  mode: dblib
  adapter: sqlserver
  host: <host or ip> 
  database: <DBNAME>
  username: uname
  password: password
  timeout: 0

you can check gems documentation for further usage.
