Sage ERP 100 Premium - SQL Run Time Usage Question

SUGGESTED

Hello.  We are looking to upgrade from Advanced to premium primarily because of the need for external reporting from "3rd Party" tools.  These tools require SQL server access to be able to PULL data from Sage running SQL.

We have read where the SQL server runtime can not run other applications which makes sense.  BUT can the other applications read that SQL data or would we need the SQL standard license for that.?

Thanks for any info
