MS SQL development

[dmsims]

After a marathon session with some of the most obscure error messages known to man I have moved a (small) database for http://www.theseacpages.co.uk to MS SQL server 2005.

I am using the Express version locally so what you get is very limited and managing the remote DB uses a web based Sourceforge app.

I have found a lite (free) version of EMS SQL manager which seems pretty good but does anyone have any suggestions for other tools ?

On the development side I am using Visual Web developer 2008 - again suggestions for alternatives (Visual Studio?) would be appreciated.

Why can't you download the Management Studio for SQL ( http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...AE-4BD1-4E3D-94B8-5A0F62BF7796&displaylang=en )

Don't see why you'd need other tools other than the official tool required, it's more than good enough.

If you're sticking to Webpages then Visual Web Developer 2008 is again more than capable of doing the job, Visual Studio would be the tool of choice should you wish to develop Windows applications in VB.Net, C# or C++.

Recently tried an app called navicat to manage mysql databases, they also do on for mssql dbs too.
