Hi,
I want to download sql server 2008 r2 express edition and install on client workstatiion. Developer will connect with our dev db server and will run queries etc.

Is there any problem for ssms express edition to connect to sql server 2008 r2 enterprise edition server? or I should use my cd for sql server 2008 r2 and just install client tools?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Express can connect to it just fine. I would recommend installing dev edition though. Ent edition is fine too, just depends on your OS on your client.
