Features

A free alternative to SQL Studio, Squel includes these features:

Small, optimized, native code with extremely fast startup time.
A handy sidebar making it easy to open your database objects, including tables, views, and stored procedures.
Incremental text substring search through database object names.
Convenient, self-naming editor tabs with syntax highlighting.
Rapid switching between multiple databases.
An optional, secure password storage feature, so you don't have to repeatedly type your username and password every time you start.
Fast keyboard shortcuts for all activities.
Edit-in-place data grids: run a query in SQL, then edit the database directly in a grid!
Ability to multiple result sets simultaneously.
A "debug mode" query executor that shows you PRINT statement output, multiple result sets in a single query, and the exact line of a stored procedure that triggered an error.
Installs and runs even if you don't have administrator access on your workstation.
