Video: The Top 5 Client Tools for SQL Server

THE VIDEO

THE SYNOPSIS

In this video, we will talk about five Microsoft-created (or sponsored) tools for connecting to SQL Server. We talk all the time about SQL Server Management Studio and Azure Data Studio, but they aren’t the only kids in this family.

LINKS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

All of these videos are on behalf of Catallaxy Services, LLC, my consulting company where I help customers on problems all across the data platform space.

Links

• SQL Server Management Studio
• Azure Data Studio
• osql
• sqlcmd
• mssql-cli
• Unfortunately, mssql-cli uses outdated and vulnerable dependencies and has been marked for deprecation, so I highly recommend against using this client.
• go-sqlcmd, a utility I mentioned but is currently in preview.
