Hi,

Do any of you know of a free client to query sql server 2005? I have an employee who's developing his skills in sql but would not want him to access the management studio just yet.

Thanks
Mat

you can just grant him operation on a singel database he can play with.

Yes, the SQL Server 2005 Express Management Studio.
Accidentally it is available as a free download from Microsoft.com

works fine for me.
you have to click on the download button in the lower right corner.
SQLServer2005_SSMSEE.msi = 32 bit machine
SQLServer2005_SSMSEE_x64.msi = 64 bit machine
