Yea that's where I was because in my realm when talking about the language I just hear SQL or T-SQL...never MS SQL

So what's going on?

Yeah it does matter. Because SQL isn't fricking "software" so much as it is a language for querying databases.

That's why you have to have DBAs that adhere to strict DB security standards....even after the network/server security is evaluated.

Microsoft SQL is illegal now
On those machines, yes, it is. What part of that don't you understand?
Can anyone link to something supporting the comment that MS SQL is illegal on these voting machines?

If they do either you got bad docs or they did...what you linked looks pretty official....it checks all the boxes so to speak.
Although I'd hesitate to contract with the folks if they tell me I have to add a damn 2008 R2 SQL Server to my farm of 2016+ servers....My first thought would be "Hell no" and it would be hard to talk me down.

Maybe read what you link to? You ran a search and saw links and failed to read.

This always fascinates me....I'm not sure how people get "write" access at all on DBs if they "don't know what they are doing".

LOL at you again. He failed to read what he linked.

So did they find any actual code? Look in the SQL logs? DB instances? Connection strings? authentication information?
Or was it just the software?

My guess is the SQL was linked via an online network not just running SQL on the machines.
But wait these machines are servers? they run SQL but are not online hmmmm that is fishy for sure.

I'm not a programmer or an IT person, so please feel free to enlighten me as to what I'm missing in the links I provided.

Yes. Look up the election commission certified program. It's not.
You linked to it yourself.

Right so that was my question if it was a "connected" server then that is an issue because I think it was well published that they couldn't be on a network.
I think bringing up some arbitrary point that "MS SQL isn't allowed on them" is what got this thread talking because frankly it seems ridiculous.

Did they find any porn?

It does not "provide access" at all. That part is not correct.
You are playing semantics.
With Management studio an authorized user can connect to a remote SQL Server and access a remote database. Network connectivity obviously needs to exist.
I didn't say it was the only way to do it. It may be the easiest and best way though. The existence of a separate program that connects to a remote server is pretty obvious proof of something nefarious going on.
SSMS won't have compiled code. The scripts don't have to be stored at all and never have to be resident on the hard drive.
