Developer tool for MS SQL Server

[willirob]

Hi All - I'm and ORACLE guy - was wondering what tool SQL Server developers use mainly for DB development.

As TOAD is to ORACLE.

I use SQL Server Management (included with SQL Server) and Visual Studio.

Corrected. But yes, those are what you're looking for. Download SQL Server Express Edition and acquaint yourself with Management Studio for free...

Toad is to Oracle as SQL Server Management Studio (+Express) is to MS-SQL.

There are others out there, but why mess with a good tool that is included with the server?
