See: http://www.sqlexplorer.org/index.php
This is a nice little open source tool. You can run queries against
tables/views. You can see properties of the database/table/indexes, etc.
Downsides may include: requires .NET framework, Java runtime. You can create
connection thru ODBC objects, or you can download and install Microsoft JDBC
client driver software. Does not perform some advanced administration tasks you
may be looking for.
Might look at the Idera stuff too (commercial): http://www.idera.com
