SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is a graphical user interface for working with Microsoft SQL Server, a relational database management system. It is used to configure, manage, and administer all components of SQL Server, such as databases, tables, users, indexes, and stored procedures. It provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to connect to and query databases, as well as to develop and deploy queries, stored procedures, and scripts. SSMS also provides a wide range of features and tools for creating, configuring, and managing SQL Server databases, including security, replication, performance tuning, data modeling, and more. It also provides a variety of tools for database administration tasks such as backup, restore, and recovery. Additionally, SSMS allows for the management of multiple instances of SQL Server from a single interface.
Connected without much effort. Always a must in IT for FAST solutions.
Connect to "MS SQL 2017 for Linux" - Out of the box (server and DBeaver - linux- Archlinux), clean look, nice, cool.
My SSMS problem is solved.
You can generate database creation scripts with data and schema.
This looks like a really promising project. Now only a "preview" (alpha I guess? Version 0.24). Hopefully this will evolve into an excellent SSMS alternative for Linux.
It looks promising. It is still in the early preview stage (maybe late alpha or early beta), but it can do basic needs to access SQL server. The user interface is also quite tidy. There is no visible clutter at this time. Hopefully, it may have more advanced features that SSMS has in the future. What surprises me is that this application is based on electronjs, a javascript framework for desktop applications that leaves a small footprint on my system.
Preview for Windows has the functionality of SSMS + better look and feel. For people who are not used to writing/understanding VS Code, some configuration tasks such as adjusting interface settings can be a challenge.
Graphical query designer. Option to import data into a table directly from the *.CSV file.
There is one of the few free Mac clients with a good graphical user interface.
Works perfectly under Linux. Nice and comfortable to work with.
It has all the features like viewing indexes, copying data from one database to another, similar to SSMS in a free and lightweight package.
Perfect code completion and source control
If you are a SQL Server DBA, then this is a fantastic tool. It is well worth the money.
