Hello,

I have SSMS on my computer and would like to access remotely the SQL server on my VPS remotely using SSMS?

How can I do this?
I think I should allow remote connections on my VPS SQL Server and open the port in Windows firewall?
If yes what is the port of SQL Server?

And can I do the following using SSMS remotely?
1. Restore a database
2. Run TSQL script
3. Edit data on a table
4. Create a backup of a database

Thanks,
Miguel

You can pretty much do everything remotely. I rarely log directly into the database server. I don't know what VPS is, but you get the port by looking at the SQL Server Error Log (displays it at startup) or the SQL Server Configuration Manager.
