Another SQL Server GUI tool that you can use on your Mac (and Windows/Linux/Solaris) is DBeaver. DBeaver is a free, open source database management tool that can be used on most database management systems (such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, SQLite, Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, Sybase, Microsoft Access, Teradata, Firebird, Derby, and more). Therefore, there's no need to install a virtual machine with Windows (which was the only way to run SQL Server on a Mac prior to SQL Server 2017). Install and Configure Docker This is a prerequisite for installing SQL Server on your Mac.

Free Database For Mac Os X
I recon that Oracle is a little bit expensive, so DB2 is my favourite, being free for individuals and programmers.
It is embarassing to have Cocoa and WebObjects and having to resort to a Linux or NT box to have a database server that clients can really talk to. I know of some solutions, good ones, but are somewhat proprietary.
Cheers.
