Oracle SQL Developer is free. You'll need a JDBC driver as well in order to
access MS SQL server.

.

Since it sounds like you have limited access to their network, though you
may be able to ping the SQL server, if they are following best practices it
is unlikely you'll be able to connect to the SQL server from outside their
network.

If this site is being hosted via a 3rd party, typically you would RDP onto
the SQL server and use the MS SQL management tools.

I haven't used the current version and I don't really remember my
experiences with any of the previous versions so I can't qualify how easy it
is to learn or use.
