So even when working with older SQL Server versions, upgrading SQL Server Management Studio For this reason, it is highly recommended to use the newest version possible to take advantage of new features and more stability through code fixes that are being continually released. Regardless of the edition being used, SQL Server Management Studio only comes in one flavorĪnd boasts backwards compatibility with almost all features from versions 2008 to 2022, including SQL Azure support. Left: Management Studio 17, Right: Management Studio 16 Version 18 iterates off of this and is based on the Visual Studio 2017 shell.

In order to take advantage of this monthly release cadence, the latest and greatest SQL PowerShell module is now called "SqlServer" whereas the the legacy module, which does *not* have the newest cmdlets released since mid-2016, is "SQLPS".

SSMS also supports managing Azure components such as Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Data Warehouse, as well as hybrid cloud features such as StretchDB and Backup to URL.

SSMS is supported for managing SQL Server 2008 through 2016 (except for SSIS instances which sadly still require a version-specific SSMS at the time of this writing). **For this reason, you will want to make sure Visual Studio 2015 is installed first followed by SSMS and SSDT.** This gives it some performance improvements and removes the dependency on installing. SSMS is now based on the Visual Studio 2015 shell.
