About this tag
SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is Microsoft's primary tool for managing SQL Server instances, executing queries, and administering databases. Recent discussions on WindowsForum.com cover the SSMS 22.5 update, which introduces a Migration Hub, Copilot enhancements in the results pane, and SQL Projects refinements. Microsoft has paused its in-app Copilot for SSMS, shifting focus to GitHub Copilot integration. The upcoming SQL Server 2025 preview emphasizes AI-driven, developer-friendly features and cloud integration. Third-party tools like Devart's dbForge Tools 7.1 now support SSMS 21 Preview and SQL Server 2025. A security vulnerability, CVE-2025-29803, affecting SSMS and Visual Studio Tools for Applications, highlights the importance of patching. A step-by-step guide for installing SSMS on Windows 11 is also available.
