**Query Designer** is component of the [SQL Server](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12999/what-is-table-valued-function-in-sql-server) and is displayed as a graphical tool in the SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) which assist users in constructing, editing and reviewing most of the SQL codes through graphical interfaces. It makes a query construction more convenient because you can build a **SELECT**, **JOIN,** FILTER, GROUP BY statement without typing the SQL code. Query Designer embraces the commonly used query types such as **SELECT**, **INSERT**, **UPDATE** & **DELETE** types. It is also capable of producing automatically SQL scripts in accordance to the design chosen and the possibility to preview the query result. This tool is ideal for people who either do not know SQL or for those who are designing complicated queries.
