I was wondering if there are any alternatives to Microsoft's SQL Server Management Studio?
Not there's anything wrong with SSMS, but sometimes it just seem too big an application where all I want todo is browse/edit tables and run queries.

Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL WorkBench, Microsoft Access, AzureDataStudio, and PostgreSQL are the most popular alternatives and competitors to Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
Toad for SQL Server is a database development and administration tool that increases user productivity and ensures optimal code quality for the SQL Server environment.
It is a great tool, and I felt furious when a colleague mentioned that Azure Data Studio will replace SSMS in the long run. In this new article, we will talk about the main differences between Azure Data Studio and SSMS. We will see if my colleague is right or if he is nuttier than a fruitcake.
I've started using LinqPad. In addition to being more lightweight than SSMS, you can also practice writing LINQ queries- way more fun than boring old TSQL!

TOAD for MS SQL looks pretty good. I've never used it personally but I have used Quest's other products and they're solid.

Seems that no one mentioned Query Express (http://www.albahari.com/queryexpress.aspx) and a fork Query ExPlus (also link at the bottom of http://www.albahari.com/queryexpress.aspx)
BTW. First URL is the home page of Joseph Albahari who is the author of LINQPad (check out this killer tool)
