We’re not talking about deploying a database for the mobile using SQL Server Compact rather we’re here by discussing any possibility to bring the SQL Management Studio to the handheld devices entirely or partially. The day when Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android transformed the existing world of handheld devices, everybody is talking about to bring the giant computer applications and facilities to the smartphones, tablets, PDAs, etc. Here, the thought to bring a mammoth sized Server with saber tooth like features to a tiny device sometime seems impossible. However, controlling a large device like 44-inch television using a small remote is reason of this imagination to use the mammoth like SQL Server Studio on a small-size mobile.
Why SQL Server Management Studio is a Mammoth?
Yes, it’s true for those organizations that’re using it extensively as their backbone. Sometimes SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) consumes a lot of system resources even on the Servers with the latest configuration and often results in a bottleneck situation. That’s why the experts always advise to go with the latest version of SQL Server, Windows Server, and brand new hardware configuration. In order to minimize such chances or to have a lite version, the users often go to the customized installation of SQL Server or try to choose between the Compact and Express editions.
What’s the idea?
The thought of bringing the complete SQL Server Management Studio to mobile may appear to be a process to fit a mammoth in a pocket-sized box. Mammoth can easily break its walls and harm the person carrying the box and set free. However, if we imagine handling an elephant with a hook and controlling a large television through a tiny remote then there are some possibilitie...

“This action is consuming more resources than expected; therefore, it’s being shifted to the server. Make sure you’re connected to SQL Server.”
Conclusion
Shifting the complete setup of SQL Server Management Studio to mobile is not possible; however, its minimized form in the shape of a remote control can be easily migrated to the handheld devices. Connected to the few databases of a SQL Server using Windows Azure or other cloud, this proposed mobile application lets users initiate the command and decide automatically or with user input where to execute the command either on the device itself or at the server’s end. Both SQL Server and mobile application should be synchronized automatically either always or at scheduled interval.
