'''Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio''' ('''SSMS''') is a software application firstdeveloped launched withby [[Microsoft]] [[Microsoft SQL Server|SQL Server 2005]] that is used for configuring, managing, and administering all components within [[Microsoft SQL Server]]. ItFirst launched with Microsoft SQL Server 2005, it is the successor to the '''Enterprise Manager''' in SQL 2000 or before. The tool includes both script editors and graphical tools which work with objects and features of the server.<ref>[http{{cite web|url=https://msdn2docs.microsoft.com/en-us/librarysql/ms174173.aspxssms/sql-server-management-studio-ssms?view=sql-server-ver16 MSDN:|title=What Introducingis SQL Server Management Studio] (SSMS)? |date=2022-01-28 |website=microsoft.com |accessdate=2022-07-14}}</ref>

A central feature of SSMS is the Object Explorer, which allows the user to browse, select, and act upon any of the objects within the server.<ref>[http{{cite web |url=https://msdn2docs.microsoft.com/en-us/librarysql/ms173849ssms/object/manage-objects-by-using-object-explorer?view=sql-server-ver16= |website=microsoft.aspxcom MSDN:|title=Manage Objects by Using Object Explorer] |date=2022-01-18 |accessdate=2022-07-14}}</ref> It also shipped a separate Express edition that could be freely downloaded,; however recent versions of SSMS are fully capable of connecting to and manage any SQL Server Express instance. Microsoft also incorporated backwards compatibility for older versions of SQL Server thus allowing a newer version of SSMS to connect to older versions of SQL Server instances. It also comes with Microsoft SQL Server Express 2012, or users can download it separately.

Starting from version 11, the application was based on the [[Microsoft Visual Studio#Visual Studio 2010|Visual Studio 2010]] shell, using [[Windows Presentation Foundation|WPF]] for the user interface. Versions 18 and after are based on the [[Microsoft Visual Studio#2017|Visual Studio 2017]] [[Microsoft Visual Studio#Extensibility|Isolated Shell]].<ref>{{cite web|title=SSMS 18.0 (preview 4)|url=https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/sql-server-management-studio-changelog-ssms?view=sql-server-2017#ssms-180-preview-4download-sql-server-management-studio-ssmsmd|website=SQL Server Management Studio - Changelog (SSMS)|publisher=Microsoft|access-date=22 October 2018|date=24 September 2018}}</ref>

In June 2015, Microsoft announced their intention to release future versions of SSMS independently of SQL Server database engine releases.<ref>{{cite web|title=Announcing SQL Server Management Studio – June 2015 Release|url=https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/sqlreleaseservices/announcing-sql-server-management-studio-june-2015-release|website=SQL Release Services Blog|publisher=Microsoft|access-date=7 September 2015|date=24 June 2015}}</ref>

Since version 21 SSMS is based on [[Microsoft Visual Studio#2022|Visual Studio 2022]] and is installed using the Visual Studio Installer. <ref>{{cite web|title=Release notes for SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)|url=https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/ssms/release-notes-21|website= Microsoft Learn|publisher=Microsoft|date=19 May 2025}}</ref>
