Is there a lightweight SQL gui that allows exploring databases and running SQL?

Question

SQL Express is installed on the machines that I'm going to, but I'm not going to install the clunky SQL Management Studio. I just want an EXE I can run, so preferably I'd like it to be install-less.

Current options are:

1) Write one myself - not too hard, but I thought I'd check here first 2) Use the command line

Requirements:

1) Browse databases I point it at 2) Run SQL commands 3) Show output of SQL commands 4) Easily view table contents

Answer 1

Please see SO answers: SQL Server Management Studio Alternatives

Answer 2

There most certainly is. I found this a while back and I think it's great: MiniSqlQuery

Answer 3

Try Navicat

Its a good db admin tool.

Thanks

Answer 4

Try RazorSQL. It is an SQL GUI and comes with an installer-less version. No need for admin rights or anything like that.
