How to connect Solidworks to a SQL

Hello

We do have parts with a huge number of configurations in it. At the moment, we use Excel tables to manage the features, dimensions and so on of the different configurations. 

In the future, we want a separate SQL-database where we can manage all the different configurations. Is there a way SolidWorks can read informations directly from SQL? And not the Excel table?

Is there an interface to connect a SolidWorks-Part with SQL?
