Disable Query Designer in SSMS?

  • Is there a r way to disable the Query Designer in SSMS?  We want the developers to always write t-sql.  We are using various versions of SSMS.

    Thanks!

    I guess I just fail to see why the query designer is such a big deal.   Far easier to have good coding standards that prohibit things like RIGHT JOIN or a lack of table aliases or any kind of lower case letters used in any SQL keyword, or enforcing lower case on data types.    Most of the queries coming out of Query Designer would fail such standards.   Once the developers know that coding standards will be enforced, you may soon find out which ones know their way around a database, and which ones are not quite qualified.
