Accessing Microsoft SQL Server remotely - sql-server

I am very naive to Microsoft SQL Server and SQL in general so excuse my ignorance.
We have this Microsoft SQL Server where we store our data from monitoring software. I need to run some queries and need to take a look at some data. Is there any way I don't have to remote into SQL Server to run these select queries?
Some sort of portal or light software I can download which connects to SQL Server and lets me do this.
Thanks in advance.

Use the SQL Server Management Studio. It can be downloaded separately.

All you need is SQL Management Studio. You can download it using this link: SQL Server 2014 Express. Please be sure to check the details to know the packages to select. Make sure to get the management studio checked.

R services in SQL Server 2016

Recently, a tech support specialist installed SQL Server 2016 Management Studio in my computer. When I asked about the possibility of using integrated R services in SSMS, he said I need to have stand alone SQL server installed in order to use that feature (which is not going to happen as individual license is pretty expensive).
Can somebody shed some light on using R services from SQL server 2016? Do I really need stand alone SQL server? or there is a workaround?
Thank you

SQL Server 2016 Management Studio is a client tool that connects to the Microsoft SQL Server 2016. If R-service already installed (as part of setup wizard, if you have chosen Database Engine Services and R-Services (In-Database)), you can connect to the SQL Server and execute R-script from Management Studio setup in your machine.

How to see what's on SQL server CE database

I have created a database in SQL server Compact Edition.
I tried to attach it in SQL server
management Express, but it did not work.
Could anyone tell me how to see the data that I
saved using my VB.net code, as we can
see in Access.
When I load SSME, it asked for which server to
connect with. But my database is not saved on any server.
Please advise.
Thanks
Select SQL Server Compact Edition in the dropdown list when you start SSMS.
If you don't see it there, install SP2.
