Answer Wiki:
Most people just use the tools which come with the SQL Server database. Enterprise Manager is used to manage the database, and Query Analyzer is used to write queries against the database. Many people like to use TOAD for SQL Server to query the database.

As a long-time Benthic tools user on Oracle, I concur with Mrdenny. The standard tools that come with SQL Server Management Studio are quite good. If you used TOAD with Oracle, TOAD for SQL Server would give you a common user interface, but if you were using Benthic Golden and PL/Edit, you probably didn’t use TOAD.
