My question is very similar to the one here except pertaining to a Windows tool. I am also referencing this table and what I found here with a Google search. However, I have no idea which tool would best meet my (very basic) purposes.

I am currently using Excel with a basic ODBC connection string to query my database at work. However, Excel is pretty memory-heavy and a basic query tends to throw my computer into a 30 second stall-a-thon.

Is there a free tool out there that is light-weight and can serve the same purpose when provided an ODBC connection and a SQL query?

Also would prefer that it easily copies over to a spreadsheet as needed.
