Plug in to do what? One uses JDBC to access the database from Java, but that doesn't involve an IDE.

You need to describe what you want to do in more detail. I don't understand what you mean by "database in Eclipse." Please give an example of what you want to do with the database. For example:

connect to the database in Java

view the database through a GUI

generate JPA entities for the tables

You could use a plugin like MyEclipse that provides a database perspective. I wouldn't though. I'd use the tool Microsoft provides in order to create tables.
