SQL Server Express - is there something like Enterprise Manager for SQL Server Express?


SQL Server Express - is there something like Enterprise Manager for SQL Server Express? keithb

sql server new users:
According to Programs | Micrsoft SQL Server 2005 | Configuration Tools | SQL
Server Configuration Manager, I have instances of SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS),
and SQL Server Browser running. I see no other evidence of these programs,
and there doesn't seem to be a menu item similar to Enterprise Manager. How
can I define databases, and import data without some kind of administrative
tool?

Thanks,

Keith

Sqlcmd.exe is the tool that ships with SQL Server 2005 Express. However,
it's a command line tool and many folks nowdays would much rather use a GUI.
If you're in that boat, there is a March CTP release of SQL Server
Management Studio Express that you can download from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=57856CDD-DA9B-4AD0-9A8A-F193AE8410AD&displaylang=en.

SQL Server Express Edition ships with the command line tool sqlcmd.exe, so
you can write Transact-SQL for manipulating the database engine. Or download
the free Express Manager program, which is a stripped down version of SQL
Server Management Studio, from
