While the Business and enterprise licensing for this product has always been one of those tough selling points, the application Suite in itself is great for database development in a Windows environment.
aunque lo uso bastante por trabajo a sido una de las herramientas manejadora de datos luego de oracle
I use this a lot just to go and test queries , a must have when you are developping in a windows environment.
Management Studio 2005 is awesome, but 2008 is much better with its built-in intellisense, which saves me a lot of time over manually typing goofy table names. Overall a really useful tool. I can't say much about the price because I've never had to pay for it.
Being able to see the query execution plan has made performance tuning much easier for me. I don't have enough experience with other SQL management tools so I cannot speak much in terms of comparison but I'm definitely happy with SQL Server.
its a Powerfull tool
Its not vary user friendy but that is very powerful. I instal SQL Server 2008 enterprise with SP1 and I feel I have every thing with it. My tables is in my hand!
Decent
good
While probably not the most user friendly Database management software there is, for the price (free on www.microsoft.com) I can hardly complain about how well the express version of SQL manager works.
Good
St3v3n......
redgate sql compare dude for schema
redgate SQL data compare for data
;)
Does anybody know a good tool to compare databases?
So I'm able to see which tables are different, which stored procedures are different (or missing), and in the tables, which data is different.
Cool
some features I have observed SSMS 2008:-
1) with the use of registered servers and Server Groups, the query editor can now send T-SQL statements to multiple servers with a single execute statement.
2) T-SQL debugger. This helps us to understad the flow of the code.
3)customizable tabs. we can now even see the process id in tab name.
