Hi im new to SQL. My work uses Microsoft SQL server and they gave me access to their database with host info and no admin help for me to figure out. I use a core imaged macbook with VPN for any work. Now with MS not being available on Mac, I tried to connect to database using docker/VSCode and DBeaver/kerberos setup.

With both methods and lots of struggles I am able to see the database. It connects and shows me the folders but I see all of them empty. I see no tables under the tables folders of each database. What could I possibly doing wrong? They just told me that they have granted me permissions to the database and thats it. Do I need to run queries to see the tables in the database? Shouldn't I see them right away?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, im learning.
