I guess should be some visualization tools (MS SQL Server) to represent some hierarchical style of the SQL query data as an output result.

I just have some hierarchical table chain with 7 tables and I have to query 1-2nd level of it very often in order to check the bottom of this chain as well as some intermediate tables.

Any clue guys?

Thank you in advance!

P.S. It would be cool if MS SQL Management Studio could accept some plugins in its next generation… 🙂

    Here is one of his example outputs:
