Almost everything you can do in a client tool can also be accomplished with Transact-SQL statements. SQL Server provides [Dynamic Management Views (DMVs)](../relational-databases/system-dynamic-management-views/system-dynamic-management-views.md) that query the status and configuration of SQL Server. There are also [Transact-SQL commands](../t-sql/language-reference.md) for database management tasks. You can run these commands in any client tool that supports connecting to SQL Server and running Transact-SQL queries, for example [sqlcmd](sql-server-linux-setup-tools.md) or [Visual Studio Code](sql-server-linux-develop-use-vscode.md).
