<p>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.</p>

<p>Is there a SQL client for Mac OS X that works with MS SQL Server?</p>

This doesn't specifically answer your question, because I'm not sure in any clients exist in Mac OS X, but I generally just
Remote Desktop
into the server and work through that. Another option is
VMware Fusion
(which is much better than
Parallels
in my opinion) + Windows XP +
SQL Server Management Studio
.
