Q: 

MS SQL database Admin/IDE

I'm using MS SQL for a project, but have always used MySql in the past. MySql has a really nice interface which lets you build queries, offers help, backup etc.

What free programs are there for MS Sql that can do this. I'm currently a student so I have free access to MS Sql but the only interface I have for it right now is Visual Studio 2008.

Any suggestions?

+2  A: 

The SQL Server Management Studio is available in an "Express" edition as well. It's a separate download from SQL Server Express, though.

SQL Server Management Studio should come with SQL Server and is quite a nice and easy to use administrator tool.

  • create DBs, tables etc.
  • control permissions
  • run queries
  • and much much more
