What is the recommended tool for developing against a Microsoft SQL Server database? We have a legacy Microsoft SQL Server that I’m developing new services for. I have never worked with Microsoft SQL Server before.
For example, for developing against Oracle databases, currently I use Oracle SQLDeveloper to figure out queries and explore indexes, etc.
You can download Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express to get started.
Choose the last Download button corresponding to
ENU\x86\SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe, if you only want the Management Studio.Descriptions about the other executables are listed on the page.
