Azure Query Wizard

I don't know about you, but I sort of like Microsoft Azure. It's pretty easy to set up a database with as much processing power as you might need. Unfortunately, Microsoft limits the tool set you might otherwise use to create queries, so I put together a quick little wizard here to help you build more complicated queries.

Unlike other wizards, these screens lack the back button. Instead, just close a window and it will return to the previous screen. If you are using this on Azure, for the server name just type in the first qualified name (i.e Azure calls your server jeffc.database.windows.net -- just type in jeffc for the server name). You can also use this wizard with regular SQL Server; if you usually connect with Windows Auth (active directory) just leave the login name and password blank.

This windows software requires that you have the runtime framework for .Net 4.0. (this comes standard on windows versions 8 and later). For questions or comments please e-mail me at jeffdchapman@hotmail.com.
