Yeah I know that SQL Server has got free express editions(2005/2008)

But what i want is a small simple opensource tool like Heidi Sql.

What are my options?

P.S: This is for my fellow Java developer who admonished me for entertaining the idea that he would install MS-SQL in his machine(lol)

HeidiSQL has built in support for Microsoft SQL Server since some weeks now in the latest builds. There are quite some important things left to do for me to implement to get it comparable to MySQL support, e.g. SQL export, table structure editing and the user manager which are all full of MySQL specifics. But at least you can browse SQL Server table data, see table columns and data types, and fire queries.

The lightest-weight query tool I know of is QueryExPlus

If you want a front-end, have you tried SQuirreL?

I have find it from 2005 to 2011....Still no free or open-source is good to use. MS Management studio express is enought to use, but it is too heavy on memory.

I recently introduced MS SQL support in HeidiSQL. There are a lot dialogs and stuff which is still MySQL related and does not work for MS SQL, but you can browse tables and data, and fire queries.

I have use a tool called Query Express before and it works great. Also it is a light weight application.
