SQuirreL SQL Client, alternative Linux à SQL Server Management Studio
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
SQuirreL SQL Client can replace SSMS for basic database browsing, script editing, and result export when you only need to connect to a Microsoft SQL Server instance via JDBC. It works on Linux, is free, and supports T‑SQL syntax highlighting. However, it lacks SSMS’s advanced features such as graphical query builder, detailed performance monitoring, and native integration with Azure services. It is best suited for developers who already use JDBC tools or who need a lightweight, cross‑platform client for multiple database types.

Ce qui fonctionne pareil
- Both provide a schema browser and tree view of tables, views, and procedures.
- Both allow editing and running T‑SQL scripts with syntax highlighting.
- Both support exporting query results to CSV or Excel.
- Both let you save connection profiles for repeated use.
Ce qui change
- SQuirreL is Java Swing and runs on any OS; SSMS is Windows‑only and native to Windows.
- SSMS includes a graphical query builder and diagram view; SQuirreL does not.
- SSMS offers built‑in performance monitoring, execution plans, and query profiler; SQuirreL lacks these tools.
- SSMS integrates with Azure services and Windows authentication; SQuirreL requires manual JDBC driver configuration and does not support Azure AD authentication by default.
- SSMS can open .mdf database files and manage SQL Server instances; SQuirreL only connects to existing databases via JDBC.
Ouvrir vos fichiers SQL Server Management Studio
SQuirreL cannot open SSMS project files (.ssms) or .sqlproj files directly. It can execute plain .sql scripts exported from SSMS, but any SSMS‑specific metadata or solution structure is not preserved. Exporting results from SSMS to CSV or Excel is straightforward and can be re‑imported into SQuirreL, but reverse migration of SSMS project settings is not supported.
Passer de SQL Server Management Studio à SQuirreL SQL Client, étape par étape
- Export your database schema and data from SSMS using scripts or backup files.
- Install the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver and add it to SQuirreL’s driver list.
- Create a new connection in SQuirreL using the JDBC URL, user, and password.
- Test the connection and run a sample query to confirm connectivity.
- Adjust any T‑SQL scripts that rely on SSMS‑specific extensions (e.g., PRINT, RAISERROR).

Does SQuirreL support Windows authentication for SQL Server?
Only if the JDBC driver supports it; you can use the Microsoft JDBC driver with integrated security, but it requires configuring the JVM to use Windows credentials.
Can I use SQuirreL to monitor query performance?
No, SQuirreL does not provide execution plans or real‑time performance counters; you would need to query system tables or use external tools.
Is SQuirreL suitable for large databases?
It works fine for most workloads, but the Swing UI may become sluggish with very large result sets; consider using pagination or exporting data instead of loading it all at once.
