Recommend a small SQL Server OPS tool Sqlops

Last week I met several colleagues who need to install SQL Server Management Studio separately for data queries, and I recommend using the Sqlops tool as an alternative.

??????? Sqlops Introduction
??????? Features: cross-platform SQL Server development and management tools.
??????? Advantages: green, small.
??????? Disadvantage: Maintenance plans, management of SQL Server agents are not supported.

??????? The project address is: Https://github.com/Microsoft/sqlopsstudio
???????? Interface:

??????? Background:
??????? For versions prior to SQL Server 2016, the SSMS installation package is embedded in the service installation package, requires a complete service installation package, the file is large, generally several g, it is recommended to install the service when the SSMs customer single and installed;
??????? Starting with SQL Server 2016, the SSMS installation package is independent of the service installation package, Microsoft accelerates the update frequency of SSMS, currently the latest version is 17.4, the installation will not upgrade or overwrite the previous version, will coexist with the old version, download the latest ssms;
??????? Starting with SQL Server 2017, Microsoft released a cross-platform, and SQL Server started supporting Windows, Linux, and Docker versions. Because of this, a tool is needed to simplify cross-platform development, and Microsoft has launched a new project that publishes a cross-platform database development tool, SQL Operations Studio (sqlops). The tool is a branch of visual Studio code that can run on Windows, MacOS, and Linux. Microsoft is not going to abandon SSMs, which is basically based on Windows platform development and has better compatibility.

??????? Note the high version of SQL Server Administration Tools is backwards compatible with the lower version of the SQL Server service.
