SQL Server + Mgngmt Studio Express on the top on VS2010 Pro

  • Hi,

    I just installed VS 2010 copy I got from college, I know that it comes with SQL Server Express and saw it in Services, then I tried ot install stand alone SQLS Mgngt Studio and could not do this, have an error.

    THen I unintslled SQLServer, and install SQLS MS which comes I think with SQLServer already, I could not find anywhere just MS. But on the course of installation I didn't have a place to enter instance of db, so now I have empty configuration manager ? I thought shoud be at least default NS bu nothting ..!!!

    Can aynbody help me how to make it work? i.e. to have SQL MS on SQLServer this is my priority, VS can wait.

    Thansk for help

    Dai

  • Just as an FYI - anything that can be done from Management Studio can be done from VS, provided you have the Ultimate or Database Edition (you didn't mention your version of VS). Some things, such as job management and creation, can only be done via code in VS, as opposed to the visual interface in SM, but it can be done.
