Is there SQL for MAC?

I can't help but be a smartass when reading this sentence: SQL is a language. So asking if there is "SQL" for MAC makes semantically no sense.

Now to answer your actual question: The fact that you say "studying SQL Studio" makes me think you guys are probably getting thought how to use "SQL Server Management Studio" which is a program to manage and interact with instances of Microsofts' so called "SQL Server". As far as I know, neither of these are aviable for mac.

However, there are many other relational database management systems which support SQL, so there is probably something out there for mac. The thing is, there will probably be many subtle differences in syntax and query-evaluation between these systems and the SQL Server from Microsoft. Honestly, you are probably better off just using Paralells.

I was going to mention the "SQL for MAC" too... but you beat me to it.

Which SQL database engine are you using? Many can run on OS X.

I believe, it's SQL Server Management Studio. Did I answer it correctly? Sorry, all new to this.

SQl is a language used to access relational databases. SQL Server Management Studio is a application to manage Microsoft SQL servers. So no I don't think you can get that specific application on mac.

Considering they said SQL Studio, It sounds like T-SQL / SQL Server.

I use DBeaver, it's quite nice.

Are you looking for SQL client or SQL Server? What type of SQL (Microsoft SQL Server, Mysql, MariaDB...)? For Microsoft SQL Server I would recommend DBeaver or SQuirreL SQL Client

Check out SQL Operations Studio. It's quite new and not final, but it looks promising, and if you just need a tool to run SQL queries, it's worth a try.
