* (Windows) Setup the string which defines our connection 
local connString "Driver={SQL Server};Database=ProjectXXXX;Server=sql.hic-tre.dundee.ac.uk;UID=project-XXXX"

* (Ubuntu Linux) Setup the string which defines our connection
local connString "Driver={ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server};Database=ProjectXXXX;Server=sql.hic-tre.dundee.ac.uk;UID=project-XXXX;TrustServerCertificate=Yes"

* Verify that we are able to connect by listing the tables
odbc query, conn("`connString'")

* Perform a simple query - this could be SELECT, UDPATE, INSERT, DELETE, etc.
odbc exec("SELECT TOP 10 * FROM Table"), conn("`connString'")

* Load an entire table into memory / Stata variables
odbc load, exec("SELECT * FROM Table") conn("`connString'")
