Howdy,

One of my freelance clients has an MS SQL server database setup that I'm going to need to manage and maintain. During the day, I use a PC at my office, so I can just use SQL Enterprise Manager to configure the database, add and drop tables, and so on. However, at night, when I'm home and doing most of my freelance work, I've got no clue on how to manage the database remotely.

So, my question is, what tools, web-based or Mac Software-based, can I used to administrate this SQL database, from my Mac at home.

Thanks!
-Nitz

This is probably not quite what you are after but unixODBC runs on OS X and is able to talk to MS SQL server...
Just who are Britain? What do they? Who is them? And why?

Doesn't he have PHPMyAdmin installed on his MySQL server? With necessary permissions it should enable you to do the items you mentioned from any browser.

It's an MS SQL server, and not a MySQL, and it's for an ASP / ASP.NET website. I'm going to take a look at UnixODBC and Aqua Data Studio. Thanks.
