SQL Server management studio is used for creation and use of the database objects. The Database Engine Tuning Advisor is used for administering the database activities. The BI solutions are implemented using the SQL Server Business Intelligence development studio. SQL Server is associated with the SQL Server management studio. The database objects are managed using the management studio. The different components available with the management studio are object explorer, solution explorer, query editor, etc. Object Explorer An object explorer displays data in a hierarchical format. User can easily view all the objects available in the server. User can browser, manage and register servers using object explorer. The explorer window consists of different components are listed below: Databases: Various databases are added under the Database folder.
