Συμβουλές και ζητήματα SSMS
- Management Studio is a standalone product. It does not correspond to any specific version of SQL Server. Because SSMS is version-independent, one install (for example SSMS 21 or SSMS 22) can manage SQL Server 2016 through 2025 as well as Azure sql.
- Large scripts reduce readability, so use comments to improve it. Put “–” in front of any line to comment it out.
- Group comment: You can comment out a group of lines by selecting them all and clicking the icon shown in the image below.
An unexpected shutdown or system failure can cause data loss. Keep the AutoRecover option checked to minimize it. You can even customize the time interval for AutoRecover and the number of days the information is kept before it is deleted, under Tools > Options > Environment > AutoRecover.

Εκδόσεις SSMS και ενημερώσεις
SSMS first shipped with SQL Server 2005 and remained bundled with SQL Server 2008, 2012, and 2016. In 2016, Microsoft made SSMS a free, standalone download and started numeric versioning at 16.x, followed by the 17.x and 18.x series.
Από τότε, Microsoft has released SSMS 19, SSMS 20, SSMS 21 (2025), and SSMS 22 (2025). SSMS 21 and later are rebuilt on Visual Studio 2022 with full 64-bit support, an optional dark theme, and Copilot integration (Preview). Microsoft supports only the latest release, so upgrading to the newest SSMS is recommended.
The complete version history is listed in the official SSMS release notes.
Λειτουργικά συστήματα που υποστηρίζονται SSMS
The table below maps SQL Server editions to their supported operating systems, where “Y” means supported and “N” means not supported. SSMS itself runs on Windows μόνο — Windows 11, Windows 10 (version 1607 or later), and Windows Server 2016 through 2025. To manage SQL Server from macOS or Linux, use Azure Data Studio instead.
