Others may have a different perspective on this, but my inclination would
be to use TSQL scripts as much as possible for querying or modifying a
database design. As you probably know, these can be run from a command
prompt with clear console output. I usually prefer to see changes in
database structure in code I can examine and tweak in written form rather
than manipulating controls of a grid interface, which unfortunately tends
to be inherently two or three dimensional and visual in nature. Perhaps
you had better experience with other databases though.
