Provides the users a single place showing all information about 
a database such as constraint definitions, index definitions, 
primary key definitions, table definitions and tables sample 
content.  This eliminates the need to switch from one dialog to 
anther looking for related database and tables information.

or complex queries.  For simple queries, users only have to point 
and click.  The Query Builder generates the SQL scripts and shows

its main purpose is to show you all the databases, tables, columns 
on your server so that you dont have to remember them.
