Visual Studio 2012 Database Designer - Has the functionality changed?

Question

I recently installed Visual Studio and SQL Server 2012. I\'m wondering if I\'m missing something because the Database Designer doesn\'t seem anywhere as friendly as the old

Answer 1

We can no longer do queries visually inside Visual Studio 2012. For those who enjoy typing they can type their queries. This makes joining multiple tables a lot of fun. For those who don't like typing SQL Server Management Studio still has a visual query editor. The other option is to use an older version of Visual Studio.
