Recently I installed SQL 2008 Express with the Tools option, which
included the Managment Studio.
Doing so was a giant pain, but as it's free, I could scarcely
complain.
I've used the Management Studio a few times in the last half hour.
Perhaps, it's worth the pain noted before. It has intellisense! (SSME
2005 did not, or I didn't discover it.) So if you're working in
database ESOII and type
SELECT * FROM dbo.
Intellisense privides a pulldown of every object one could SELECT
FROM.
Of course, it does the same for WHEREs and JOINs etc
And yes it has wizards. But I avoid wizards.
But I sure like the Intellisense.
So far!
