SQL Server Management Studio

SQL Server Management Studio gives database administrators and developers a Windows workspace for working with SQL Server databases. Users can connect to a server, inspect database objects, adjust settings, and carry out routine maintenance. It also supports development tasks such as writing queries and checking table structures, so administration and coding can be handled in the same application.

It brings database administration and SQL scripting into one workspace.

A visual interface lets users browse server resources and open controls for common administration tasks, while a script editor handles SQL commands that need finer control. The program can also connect to cloud database services, including Azure SQL Database and Azure Synapse Analytics. Its object views and query tools let users examine a database before making changes.

Features:

• Browse databases and server objects
• Write and run SQL queries
• Adjust SQL Server settings
• Manage database objects with visual controls
• Connect to Azure SQL Database
• Inspect tables and database structures
