If you mean the ODBC part, I don't see how can you avoid creating the ODBC (or JDBC) to extract the data in any other software. In QlikView, the way of connecting to data sources (databases or spreadsheets, files or websites) is via the Script Editor. Qlik Sense can be a bit different.
If the data is to be loaded "as is", usually the wizard is all you need to select which database, and from it, which view/table, and which columns if not all. The good thing about this is that this works, once the DSN is in place, with any database manager.
If the data it's not ready to consume, then you will need to edit the script, even if based on the wizard, to modify fields if you need to, rename, join, etc. more often creating your own.
But if you are looking for a plug and play tool, I agree, QlikView is not a plugin for SQL Server (or any other source for that matter).
If you need a short intro to QlikView to be able to decide whether or not this is the tool you are looking for, I'm more than happy to engage with you by Skype, Hangouts or the like. Of course, you can also contact Qlik themselves or a partner.
