Browsing SQL Server

Question

Are there any tools for just browsing SQL Server? I ask because sometimes SSMS is a little heavy weight when I just want to look through the database and find one record, and SQLCMD doesn't really seem like a good choice when browsing through a lot of different records or a lot of large records.

Answer 1

Yes, QueryExpress is a great, lightweight tool (which also can be used from a USB stick) for browsing and querying SQL Server databases.

Answer 2

I'm using and I really like LINQPad
