Microsoft all the time amaze me ! They have a very cool utility in MSDN which blowed my mind.

I couldn't easily admnister some databases locally from my desk because of some firewall setup I put in place.

I read a blog (sorry I don't remember which one) about a  tool from MS to remotely manage any databases (SQL 2000 or MSDE).

I couldn't believe it so I tried it and it rocks !

If only the SQL Enterprise Manager could be as beautiful as the design of this utility !

You can do almost everything you want in your Databases, writing queries, updating stored procedures, including creating a new database.

Astounding ;-)

Download it here.

  • From docs: "The server should be able to accept SQL authentication credentials (integrated Windows authentication will not work)"



    Ugh. Why does Microsoft keep telling us not to use SQL authentication mode and then giving us reasons to?

  • You can't believe how much i've wanted a tool like this. Thanks a lot for pointing it out!



    Why don't they distribute this along with MSDE since it has now management tool except for osql?



    Up until now i had just downloaded the SQL Server 2000 trial and installed only the client tools. This should save me the effort. All that's missing from this tool (or i haven't found yet) is the user account settings (adding, removing users and/or setting the authentication mode).



    Great stuff!
