Any recommendations for SQL Server data editing software?

  • Hi

    I've looked at a lot of the SQL products on the market but while there are plenty of SQL design/query building tools, I can't find a good commercial grade data editing application. I wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction?

    I'm looking at something that allows you to point it at a server, navigate between databases, tables, views etc like SQL Management Studio, but has better editing ability, e.g. support for editing multi-line text, recordset paging.

    I know I could build a front-end myself using something like Access, but as I have a lot of databases I'd prefer not to do this.

    Thanks for any help.

  • I'd say building something in Access (or .NET, even better) is probably your best option.

    Most databases are designed to be accessed via a specific application, set of applications, or SAS architecture, not via a "data editing tool", so I doubt there's enough of a market for such a thing to support any mature applications.
