For anyone who has ever used Visual Studio as well, the management
studio interface is very similar to what VS has had for a while. One
difference that bugs me is that in VS you can click the "Design Query"
button and quickly use the designer for the query right in the query
window. In MS, you have to open up the query designer separately,
which then copies and pastes the query back in MS. Is there a way to
use it similar to VS? It's useful to use the designer in a database
your not familiar with or with a query that has a lot of joins.

thanks,

Not really. At the MVP summit we discussed this (and many other) disparities
between VS and SSMS. Perhaps this will be addressed in a version or two (or
three).
