There are several free tools for both Access and Sql Server .. Ms Access is part of MS Office professional and comes with everything you need to create databases,tables, and to print and modify structures. Ms Sql Server has its own Microsoft tools called MS Sql Studio and is part of the Database installation.
Some free tools include :
Sql Server : Toad
