Does anyone know of a 'portable' query tool for MS SQL 2000 or 2005? Not knowing the exact correct way to ask this question, I am looking for a program that does not need to be installed in Windows via an installer nor would it use the registry so that it would run, for instance, from a USB stick plugged in ad-hoc. It would be able to connect to an MS SQL Server database and behave like a limited version of Query Analyzer in that it could submit queries and display the returned results. Thanks in advance for any info.
