[Release] 4Story SQL Manager – Free & Open Source SQL Server Tool

[YellowSwag]

Hi everyone,

I’m releasing a small SQL Server manager I built recently as a free alternative to Navicat.
It was originally made for 4Story development, but it works with any SQL Server database.

The project is open source (MIT) and fully available on GitHub.

Features

SQL Server connection support

Browse databases, tables, and functions

Inline table editing (double-click cells)

Add / delete rows

Copy tables between databases

Execute functions with parameters

Dark theme code editor

Multi-tab support

Portable (no installation required)

Smart Search

Search across:

Table names

Function names

Table data

Fuzzy matching (handles typos)

Shows exact table / column / value matches

Useful when you remember data but not where it’s stored.

Download & Source

GitHub repository:


Latest release:


Technical Info

Electron 39.2.7

React 19

Fluent UI

Windows x64

Portable build

Windows Defender may report a false positive (Electron-related).

Feedback, bug reports, and feature requests are welcome.
