SQL Lizard is an extension for Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 22. It adds a powerful data grid, data visualization tools, Object Explorer improvements, SQL formatting, linting, export features, notes, query history, and more — directly inside SSMS.
If you are looking for an SSMS extension, SSMS add-in, or SQL Server Management Studio plugin, SQL Lizard is built exactly for that purpose: extending the default SSMS experience with more useful features without forcing a separate application.
It transforms SSMS into a modern analytics workspace - without leaving your query workflow.
Work with your data faster using advanced grids, design dashboards, pivot tables, and charts—directly inside SSMS.
Reduce repetitive tasks, avoid context switching, and focus on solving problems instead of managing tools.
Core Features
Data Analysis & Exploration
High-performance data grid built for large result sets with filtering, sorting, grouping, and support for multiple result sets. Interactive pivot tables enable deep data analysis directly in SSMS.
Visualization & Dashboards
Built-in charts for instant visualization. Combine grids, pivots, and charts to explore data visually without leaving your query environment.
Export & Reporting
Export results directly to Excel (including password-protected files) and other formats. Capture insights with built-in RTF notes and eliminate manual reporting steps.
Query Insights
Access query history and quickly revisit previous executions for faster iteration and troubleshooting.
SQL Quality & Safety
SQL linting and static analysis detect common issues such as missing WHERE clauses. Prevent risky execution and maintain consistent code with built-in formatting.
Object Explorer Enhancements
Search and group database objects efficiently. Navigate large schemas faster with flexible organization options.
Why SQL Lizard?
SSMS is powerful, but not optimized for modern data exploration and productivity.
SQL Lizard enhances your workflow by combining data analysis, visualization, query safety, and developer tooling—all inside SSMS.
Built for Daily Efficiency
Saving just 10–15 minutes per day translates to 40–60+ hours per year—roughly one full work week recovered.
For teams, the savings scale into hundreds of engineering hours annually.
SQL Lizard helps achieve this by reducing repetitive work, enabling fast analysis, and simplifying everyday workflows.
