    SQL Client for Mac OS X that works with MS SQL Server

    How can I connect to a remote SQL server using Mac OS X? I don’t really need a GUI, but it would be nice to have for the color coding and resultset grid. I’d rather not have to use a VM.

    Is there a SQL client for Mac OS X that works with MS SQL Server?
