Qt 4.8 and SQL Server 2016

We are using an older version of QT - 4.8.4 and I'm wondering if anyone with QT and Database knowledge can tell me if it would be possible for our application using Qt 4.8.4 to connect to a SQL Server 2016 database? Should I be able to just use the QODBC plugin and connect to it? I'm assuming we should be able to, but I have not a lot of experience with databases and ODBC.

Our application is running C++ on a Linux machine, so looking to connect to SQL Server remotely.

Any help/advice is very much appreciated!
