Hi guys,

I am looking for a free sql query tool which is read only, i.e. only does Select statements. Any advice on this.

Cheers

Well just provide db_datareader role to a specific user and have your customer use that in whatever query tool they want to use.

Thanks for that tkizer. I'm going to stay away from the issue at the moment as I need to investigate current user roles in the database. They'll just have to do without for a while.
