[dba-SQLServer] SQL Azure and SSMS

Hi Jim

I located this (which I haven't run yet) SQL Azure Manager (alpha):
http://hanssens.org/post/SQL-Azure-Manager.aspx

and this tiny guide:
https://blogs.msdn.com/jimoneil/archive/2009/08/18/sql-azure-ctp-1.aspx 

which I followed, and voila - a select query returned:
(1 row(s) affected)

So it works.

Hi Gustav:

Well, that looks like a first step. I like yourself will wait for some
bright boy or girl, with time and foccus, to build a nice gui interface for
the a browser.

Hi all

As you may have noticed, this is up:

What they don't tell is how to connect with SSMS to this bastard. However,
this page was a great help for me:

http://english.zachskylesowens.net/2009/08/18/connecting-to-sql-azure/ 

But surprise: No object browser, no nothing. You are alone in the dark.

So what to do? I'm lazy and not in the mood for writing manual SQL code for anything.
Any tools or smart methods?
