Googled it out when I needed it - had to run MSDE or something locally, had no tools available and found Toad. After a few years, it's still far ahead of SSMS or SMSS or whatever way they manage to call everything a MS something (I bet in Redmond they don't have toilets, they must have MS toilets).

Didn't try other of their tools, except briefly Toad for MySql. Feels much better when you work with different db engines while keeping the same tool - the syntax may differ, but at least you know the GUI.
