Overview
SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) provides a unified platform for administering SQL infrastructure, ranging from SQL Server to Azure SQL Database. SSMS is a set of tools for configuring, monitoring, and administering SQL Server and database instances. SSMS can be used to deploy, monitor, and upgrade the data-tier components that your applications rely on, as well as to create queries and scripts.
SSMS allows you to query, construct, and administer databases and data warehouses on your local computer or in the cloud.
