Tony, I connect to MS SQL databases from 2000 up to 2008, using SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio). I have the Developer version of SQL Server installed on my local PC. SSMS is the replacement for Query Analyzer and Enterprise Manager. I am a Developer, not a DBA... with that said, the things I do every day are the following: Create and modify stored procedures. Review database schemas Write and execute TSQL. I am currently using JAWS 12, but was using JAWS 11 with the same SSMS before. I don't like the tracing tool so much... it is a battle to get the information I need from it. The query analyzer is a bit cumbersome as well. Regards. Rodney From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Anthony P Schnurr Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2011 8:56 AM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: MicroSoft SQL Server 2008 Hello, I have been asked to check into doing some work with Transact SQL and MS SQL Server since we are going to be moving from Oracle to SQL server for future development. I would like to hear from anyone who has successfully worked in this environment using a screen reader. What tools worked for you? I once tried Enterprise Manager with SQL Analyzer on an older computer which I had some good luck with; however, I was told I could not use that tool on my newer machine. I currently have MS SQL Studio Manager on this Windows 7 64-bit machine. I am currently using latest build of JAWS 11 and trying to convince management to purchase upgrade to 12. Though we have some SQL Server 2000 DBs; we are also going to be adding some SQL Server 2008 or newer DBs. Any thoughts?
