Is there any plugin/extension available that supports SQL server instead of MySQL on a Windows network? I already have SQL Server 2012 installed and am not eager to install MySQL as well.

Is that "No, and that's a shame", or "No, and you're an idiot for asking"?

None of both. As far as i know there is no plugin to connect to a MS SQL. I guess one reason is because Kodi is open source and you don't have to pay for Kodi. MySQL is for free also instead of MS SQL. And Kodi is platform independent as MySQL. MS SQL is windows only. I guess this is something against the believing of Kodi.
The question is legit to ask. I ask myself at the beginning of using Kodi/XBMC too. So the question is not stupid my answer was a little bit short only.

I used MariaDB on Windows in place of MySQL and it appears to be working fine.
