A computer?
If that wasn't the answer you thought you were looking for then you need to understand that you don't choose a database based on tool but rather on the functionality of the database vendor. AFTER you have chosen a database then you look for applications that allow you to manage the database application.

Pen and paper: figure out what you want the database to do for you and then create a structure to support that. Sketching it out with a pen and paper is the first thing I do (or whiteboard).

SQL Server is where data is stored, ADO.NET is a set of objects for Creating, Reading, Updating and Deleting data.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Just Like Mark wrote, I start with the whiteboard.
When that gets to small I make the model in Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler [^], which supports Oracle, SQL Server and DB2 out of the box, and you can make your own design rules as well.
And as an extra plus, it supports source control via Subversion.
