SSMS on SQ3 Processor

Question

Is it possible to run SSMS (just the query UI not the actual server engine) on the new Surface Pro 9 w LTE?
I’d like to be able to get something with cellular but also connect into database engines for remote queries?

Answer 1

no, you need an intel chip, windows arm is not supported,

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms?view=sql-server-ver16

or try azure data studio (intel or Mac arm supported)

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/data-studio/

or visual studio code extension: (intel or Mac Arm supported)

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/tools/visual-studio-code/sql-server-develop-use-vscode?view=sql-server-ver16

or do what I do, a arm MacBook (M1/M2), azure data studio, azure sqlserver edge in a docker image and hotspot to phone. you can use parallels to run windows arm in a vm, which will be much faster than a surface arm (cpu/graphics)
