Basically, Microsoft SQL Operations Studio is meant for developers and nonprofessional database administrators who need a simple way to manage their databases without having to spend tons of time learning the intricacies of their database environments. So it takes a prescriptive approach to helping users perform routine tasks, aiming to help them get those things done quickly while still learning as they go.

More specifically, users can leverage command line tools like Bash, PowerShell, sqlcmd, bcp, and ssh right within the user interface. You can also generate and execute CREATE and INSERT scripts for objects in the database and make copies of your database. The tool also includes productivity features including smart T-SQL code snippets and rich graphical experiences to help you easily create new databases and objects like tables, views, stored procedures, users, logins, and roles. You can also create rich customizable dashboards to monitor and detect issues like performance bottlenecks in your databases either on-premises or in Azure.
