| Hi fragged, Welcome to SQL Team!The "normal" client tools for SQL Server 2000 are on the Server Install disk. You go as-if to make a Server Install on your workstation and then you select only the "Client Tools" option.If its SQL Server 2005 then there are some equivalent tools provided (branded under the "Visual" range!)Kristen |

| "So theres no other 3rd party clients as there are with mysql or other sql servers?"Yes there are, but I have no familiarity with them ...There are two possible options. There is a command line utility OSQL.EXE that installs with MSDE; this is royalty free as far as I know.There is a Developer Version of SQL Server. This is the full version (Enterprise even, I think!) but restricted to use on a single server by a single person (or something similar, but either way its a "sensible" license for a developer). Cost is about $50 I think - so obviously intended to be a "realistic" purchase for a developer.All this gubbins is also available on MSDN if you have that.Kristen |
