I have a windows 2003 server which has SQL 2005 Express with advanced services installed on it. Then a few weeks back the company purchased SQL server Standard Edition which comes with SQL Server Management Studio (which has more features than SQL Server Management Studio Express currently installed on the server where sql express is running)I have been trying to schedule a maintanance plan on the SQLExpress Instance database from the SQL Server Management Studio that came with the standard version of sql but i have not been able to have all SQL Server Management Studio functionality available when connected to the SQLExpress instance. So is there a way i can connect to the Express Instance from management studio(that comes with the standard edition of sql) and have all its functions available when working with a SQL express database. Or i must upgrade the express database?
I am new to visual studio and I am still not sure of all its components and features.
I installed visual studio 2005 standard edition but cannot find SQL Server Management Studio?
I guess this must be because it is not included with Visual studio 2005 standard. Is it included with VS 2005 professional?
I want to add pictures of products to my shopping site using an SQL database and I’ve been told that SQL Server Management studio is required as it is a graphical tool.
How would I go about obtaining the SQL server management studio. There seems to be different versions of SQL server that it is confusing to know which one to purchase.
Will the SQL server 2005 version that comes with Visual studio standard be sufficient for me now right? I want to create a shopping site with hundreds, perhaps even thousands of products. I want to use an SQL server 2005 database. The database will include ‘dynamically generated’ product images if that is the correct terminology.
My goodness, it seems I still have so much to learn.
i don't know if it was mentioned before, but i solved the issue that Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express won't show the option to create/modify a sql compact database by installing not this Version:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express Date: 19.04.2006 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c243a5ae-4bd1-4e3d-94b8-5a0f62bf7796&DisplayLang=en
but this one:
SQL Server Management Studio Express Service Pack 2 €“ CTP-Version Date: 19.12.2006 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ccbda432-8ecf-4c82-bdef-b575eaf07f55&DisplayLang=en
hope this helps.

P.S. i'm curious if anybody else had the same issue, caused of using the wrong Version of SSMSe?
I've installed all the options from the sQL server CD but can't find how to install the Management Studio. I'm missing something obvious, but beat's me where it is.
I have gone to the page http://www.microsoft.com/express/sql/download/default.aspx to download the 64 bit version of the Management Studio for Vista 64 bit... and its in Chinese.
This is the double astrix version at the very bottom of the page specifically for Vista 64...
Is this something I am doing or is this download link actually to a Chinese Download??
Can someone point me to a download link that is English...
This may be a dumb question but I have searched and haven't found an answer to it here yet.
We are planing to get SQL Server 2005 for a specific purpose.We have several existing stand alone SQL Server 2000 database servers already. I have Enterprise Manager (2000) client installed on my PC. I recently installed SQL Server Express (2005) on my PC to get to know about new features.
I have run into problems (BCP specifically) with having two versions of C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server80... and C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90... on my PC.
Is there any point before or after we purchase Standard version of SQL Server 2005 when I can do away with C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server80... and/or uninstall Enterprise manager?
In other words can I manage SQL Server 2000 databases using only Management Studio(SQL Server 2005 client)? If not, how do I manage the two different versions of the client software on a single PC.
Since some analysis services features are only available in Enterprise version , I have to upgrade my SQL 2005 server from standard edition to enterpise edition.
So I uninstall originial standard version of analysis service and install a Enterprise version. However, the analysis service is still a standard version after installation.
Is it possible to keep data engine as standard version and install a enterprise version of analysis service?
Hello,I have been searching and reading a lots of information on the microsoft website about the different version of SQL server, but still can not make my decision.In term of performance, is there a real big difference between the workgroup and the standard version? The workgroup is limited to 3 GB of RAM while the standard is unlimited, would that really change the performance if my server has 16Gb or RAM?The price difference is pretty substantial so if could only have to buy the workgroup , it would be better.One more question, regarding the type of licence, my server has 2 processors, could I avoid buying 2 licences and get the Server plus CAL instead. I am using this server to host 4 web-application running on SQL server. Each database is about 15 MB.Thanks in adavance for your advises.Arno
Can some one here give me more insight about how to upgrade a SQL Server 2005 Standard Version (32 bits) to a SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Version (32 bits) as default instance on a Windows 2003 enterprise OS (32 bits). I want to know what is the easist way and what is the safest way. May I preserve some settings I have for the STD version, or I have to start from strach again to configure the server? Is there any catches, anything I should have attention to (We are using heavily about CLR and fulltext indexing)?
I have recently installed the SQL Server Management Studio Express but I do not find Management Tools in order to create scheduled backups and shrinking of the databases. I was under the impression that this should be included in the Management Studio. I use the SQL 2005 Express for smaller customers who run the SQL on a desktop unit. I need a way to backup the data to a server machine for backup purposes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.
I have a database in my "App_Data" folder of my visual studio project. I can view it fine in Visual Studio's built-in tools for managing a database attached to a solution. However i recently started playing around with the SQL Server Management Studio Express program. When i attach my database to Management Studio, and try to run my program it crashes. I think it might be a permissions error?!? When i detatch it and reattach it in visual studio it runs fine again. Any suggestions? ThanksJason

How do i get the database that i am using in visual studio into my SQL server management studio? i need to create some scripts to create stored procedures on a live server.
I have been using the 180 day evaluation version of SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and I have my license key now for the purchased version. I read on the Microsoft site I am able to upgrade to the non-trial version without uninstalling the eval version. But for Standars Edition Microsoft states:
"... If upgrading to the fully licensed version of SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition, Workgroup Edition, or Developer Edition, it is recommended that you uninstall the 180-day trial version of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition before installing the fully licensed version of the other editions..."
Is there anyway out where I don't need to uninstall my eval database server? If it is necessary to uninstall eval version, then what is the best way to preserve all my current databases?
Can I set up sql server 7.0 standard version in cluster enviorment, what the different betwent sql server 7.0 enterprise version and standard version? any problem I may encouter when I install the SQL server 7.0 standard version in Cluster enviorment? Thank you very much. Judy
I just received my licensed disks for upgrading my SQL Server 2005 Evaluation version to a fully licensed version. Do I simply run the two disks over top of the evaluation version or is it a little bit more complicated? Any input would be greatly appreciated. A little new to SQL.
Can the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio interact with local SQL 2005 Express databases. So can we use one management tool for both our server (non-local) SQL 2005 Databases and our local SQL 2005 Express databases (That the developers have free reign over).
I have SQL server 2005 developer edition installed on my machine. I was expecting something like Enterprise manager to manage databases but nothing is installed by default. Ive found SQL server management studio express and installed it, but Ive also seen references to SQL Server Management Studio. Are there any differences between the two , or are they the same and are just described differently ?? Im a bit confused, Microsoft should make this clear.
Hey everyone, Would someone please tell me why the new SQL Server Managment Studio comes with hardly not frills? What happened to the SQL Enterprise Manager in SQL Server 2000? It had DTS, SQL Agent Job and step viewing, Cool Wizards.. All that great stuff. but with this new Sql Server Management Studio with 2005 all I can do is pretty much look at the data and write queries and create and modify tables. Am I missing something? I did download an external tool which was called an import/export wizard but it sucks compaired to the DTS in SQL 2000. I did notice when I open my Sql Server Management Studio "Express" that it is the Express version... Is there a difference? Thanks for any help.
i have SQL Server 2005 dev edition and i wanted to use SQL Server Management Studio so is it installed or i need to install the SQL Server Management Studio express edition ??? thx
I have installed SQL Server Management Studio (for SQL2005) to a pc. When the user boots the pc, the following error is received:
fmaagent.exe - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services Application has generated an exception that could not be handled. Process id =0x328 (808), Thread id=0x32c (812).
Click Ok to terminate the application. Click CANCEL to debug the application.
After clicking on OK, the pc continues on its merry way and boots up successfully.
Does anyone know what would cause this error? I have checked the Microsoft site but did not find this error listed among the documents.
Good Afternoon! I installed SQL Server Express 2005 but the GUI is not visible. Someone can tell me how to install it or where I can find the executable.

Can I set a passport protection to a database (once I am connected to the SQL Server on my own machine) from not opening/browsing/stop even read access?
(I want something like log in authentication before I open/browse/double click on any database to expand basically)
I installed SQL 2005 in a few server but none of them have SQL Server Management Studio. Where to find out them? I checked c:...inn, there is now VSShell folder.
I have the "Ready to Launch" package, which includes Vidual Studio 2005 Standard Edition, SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and something else called BizTalk Server 2006.
Anyway, Visual Studio is spread across two CD's and I have installed that. I now want to use the SQL Server Management Studio to administer a database I have running on a website. Anyway, SQL Server is on a DVD and when I put it into the drive it comes up with the autorun screen. I noticed that in the top left corner of this screen it says "SQL Server 2005 (Disc 1 of 2). However, there is no second disc, so I'm wondering if this is a problem or just a typo left over from the CD version.
There is two options in the menu under Install, "Server Components, tools, Books Online, and samples" and "Run the SQL Native Client Installation Wizard." I have tried both of these options and I still don't have the SQL Server Management Studio. In fact if I select the first option, when I get half way through the wizard, it asks what components I want installed. I cannot see any reference to the SQL Server Management Studio in this list, so I just select everything to be sure.
Once it has finsihed installing, all it does is create a Start Menu folder called "Microsoft SQL Server 2005" and another folder inside that called "Configuration Tools." This folder just contains a few things like configuration manager and surface area configuration, etc...
So where do I find this SQL Server Management Studio? Have I done something wrong or am I missing something (like a second disc)? I'm installing on to Windows XP, would that cause the problem? Do I need to be installing on to some sort of server OS (which I don't have BTW as I'm just a regular user looking for a way to administer my MS SQL database and I heard this tool was the way to go)?
