SQLWire

SQLWire is a focused SQL Server workbench inside Visual Studio. Write and run T-SQL, load database metadata for IntelliSense, debug stored procedures, and export result sets to XLSX without moving between development tools.

Try every feature free for three days. Continued use requires a signed perpetual licence, which can be imported from the Licence button in the workbench.
