connecting MSSQL server using MySQL Workbench

Question

I am trying to connect to database, which is on MSSQL server, using MySQL Workbench.

while creating new connection using workbench, I am getting error - "Lost connection to MySQL server at 'waiting for initial communication packet', system error: 10060"

while looking for this error code - I got this link - Can I use mysql to connect to SQL Server?

any suggestions/link how I can connect to database on MSSQL server using MySQL workbench

The answer in the link you posted says that you can't connect to SQL Server. Why don't you want to use a tool such as SQL Server Management Studio? — Horizon_Net

MySQL Workbench is a tool exclusively designed to work with the MySQL server. No other RDBMs is supported.

To clarify after the migration comment:

Migration is something completely different. WB only migrates from certain RDBMSs, but always to MySQL. And all features in WB only work and were tested for a MySQL server.
