Tools "user friendly"

Hello,

I use Oracle in general. We use tools like PL/SQL Developer
(http://www.allroundautomations.com/plsqldev.html) or Toad (quest.com)

Are there some tools like this for SQL Server because, the tools provide by
microsoft is no really "user friendly".

I tried, the free version of Toad for SQL Server, but it's really not the
same than the Oracle version.

If you know other tools, free or not, tell me.

Thanks,

Christian,

.... also works for Oracle. I'm a big fan of this tool :)

You could try ours - Database Workbench at www.upscene.com

Does not yet work properly with SQL 2005, but the next release will.
Also works with Oracle and MySQL, for example.
