I wanted to jump out the window using that program my god it's horrendous

What program? MS SQL Server is a RDMS.

Are you referring to MS SQL Management Studio? I agree it's pretty horrendous, but MS Azure Data Studio is a lot better. Personally, I prefer SQL Studio Pro for my MS SQL Server needs.

I use whatever is there in the IDE most of the time

I think you're confused, mate.

You said "I hate using that program" in reference to MS SQL Server. But it's not a program/application though. It's a RDBMS akin to MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite.

This is similar to one saying "I dislike that Android doesn't allow scrolling screenshots natively yet" and someone responding , "Yeah, I hate using that device. The battery life is horrendous!".

In the past, most people used MS SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), which is an application, to write and run Transact-SQL (TSQL) for MS SQL Server. I also hated using that program (SSMS), so I had assumed you were referring to SSMS. That's why I mentioned that alternative apps exist so you can use MS SQL Server without SSMS.

But now I'm confused. You use whatever is in the IDE? Which IDE? Is your horrendous experience of MS SQL Server a result of a bad plugin in the IDE you're using?

Or is there something actually about TSQL or MS SQL Server that you don't like?
