ArcGIS Pro 1.2 error

Question

I just installed ArcGIS Pro 1.2. This is my first time trying to use it, and I am trying to connect to our enterprise gdb which is on sql 2008 and we are running 10.3.1.... But when I attempt to do that, I get the following error.. "Connection was attempted with an older version of SQL Server client communications software that is not supported." ​ How do I fix this so I can start using Pro

If it is this one Microsoft SQL Server database requirements for ArcGIS Pro 1.2—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop

but desktop supports lower/older versions

but there is patch section Oracle database requirements for ArcGIS Pro 1.2—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop

and it is the only section that mentions contacting esri

see Oracle database requirements for ArcGIS Pro 1.2—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop
