What are SQL Editors for Visual Studio?

SQL editors are software tools that enable users to write, edit, and execute Structured Query Language (SQL) queries to interact with databases. These editors provide an interface for managing and manipulating data in relational database management systems (RDBMS), allowing users to create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) records in tables. SQL editors often include features like syntax highlighting, query formatting, auto-completion, and debugging tools to make the writing and execution of SQL queries easier and more efficient. Many also offer integration with different databases, support for complex queries, and built-in tools for database design and management. By enhancing the user experience and providing powerful database manipulation capabilities, SQL editors are essential tools for database administrators and developers.
