The easiest way to work with an MS SQL database is with Microsoft's free SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), which runs on Windows.
- Download and install SQL Server Management Studio.
- Open your control panel and go to the MS SQL databases section of your Windows hosting package. Note the server name, database name, username and password.
- In SSMS, choose Connect → Database Engine, set Authentication to SQL Server Authentication and enter the details from step 2.
- Click Connect. You can now create tables, run queries and import or export data.
Open your control panel: log in to the FariHost Client Area, go to Services → My Services, choose your hosting plan and click Login to Control Panel.
Tip: back up your database (right-click it → Tasks → Generate Scripts or Export Data) before making large changes.
