After using other GUI tools for databases like oracle sql developer, plsql editor, etc, I am not quite comfortable with sql server management studio, so I want to ask:

  1. Is there any better client tools for sql server?
  2. In management studio, if I've already opened edit window, how to refresh the data in the window?

  1. This question answers this part.
  2. All you have to do is click on the "Execute SQL" [!] button up in the toolbar and it will refresh the data.

  1. Check out this old (but still pretty good) SO post
  2. If by "edit window" you mean a query window, you can simply re-execute the query (highlight the query you want to re-run, then hit F5) and it will refresh with updated data. If by "edit window" you mean the "Edit table" view then I am unaware of an easy way to do it.
