我可以在没有管理工作室的情况下连接远程sql server数据库吗

Question

I was working with Visual Studion 2015 and I was using localdb feature to do data access and manipulations. Can I access remote database, which is on azure, in the same way or other without installing ssms ?

As marked duplicate, I will make an effort to make this question unique.

I am not asking how to connect remote db using localdb, I was telling I used localdb to connect local databse.

The main question is "Can I access remote database, which is on azure, in the same way or other without installing ssms?"

Seems like @Jude's comment answered it, worth a try.

Answer 1

He is not on about accessing to LocalDB. He is on about the way to access to DB. Yes you can. SQL Server Object Explorer under View menu is what you need. Straight forward process. Basically, you don't need SSMS
