You can always use free HSODBC gateway. It's described here:

https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/odbcu/index.html

I've set it up several times, but not for SQL Server. It worked with MySQL and PostgreSQL. I don't see any issues with SQL Server. There is FreeTDS SQL Server ODBC driver for Slowaris:

You will need another listener and that's about it. That should hold water for once a month operations.
