| Hello, I am trying to install SQL Server 2005. I just installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2005(.NET). I got an option in my Start -> Programs for Microsoft SQL Server 2005. But I don't see how to bring up the query analyzer. It just has options for Configuration Tools ->SQL Server Configuration Manager,SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting, SQL Server Surface Area Configuration.Did I install it wrong by chance? Do I need to do something else now? Do I need to configure it? If yes, how do I do that? Could anyone lead me in the right direction please? Thanks! I have no idea how to proceed since I've never installed this before.Could anyone please help me install or do whatever needs to be done to it so I can bring up the query analyzer/user interface and be able to use SQL?Thanks, Looking forward to hearing from you. |

| Sql2k5 doesn't have query analyzer, it runs query in ssms. I think you installed sql server express, can download ssms for express from Microsoft. |

| What I downloaded was Microsoft Visual Studio. NET 2005. The SQL Server came along with it (I think) unless it was already there on my laptop. But the problem is that it ONLY has options for Configuration Tools. Is that how its supposed to be? I mean how do I use it? I am pretty sure it is not the Express version. It does say Microsoft SQL Server 2005. |
