Now that you are connected, you can access all the tables, views, etc as shown.

 For any table you have three options Select top 1000, edit or script table to create as shown.

When click on New Query icon in the Microsoft Operations Studio, the query plane is open as shown.

 You will be required to enter a query starting at Line 1. When you type SEL, the Select statement begins.

 You do not get the columns of employees as it is not yet even mentioned. Type in the rest of the query. Click Run. The results pane opens below the Select statement as shown.

 The Results pane has a few controls on the right. This is cool. Now you can export the results to CSV, JSON or EXCEL. You could also view it as a chart.

Perhaps, SSMS should have a view of viewing data as chart.

In summary, it is easy to connect to SQL Server and run queries. It should be noted that there is no syntax check for queries as well as intellisense.
