This may be very dumb.
As instructed with VS.NET I dowloaded the sql2kdesksp3.exe
package and installed a default instance of Sql server
which is running fine.
However, I can not find the Sql Enterprise Mgr, it does
not appear to have been installed. I can apparently not do
things like attach to the Northwinds database etc. I can
find no tools in VS.NET to do that.
Do I need to install the full SqlSP3 package to get the
Manger?
I searched the KB for this and found nothing.
Thanks in advance, Frank
Hi Frank,
The sql2kdesksp3.exe indicates that you are installing MSDE 2000 (SQL
Server 2000 Desktop Edition). It does not provide Enterprise Manager. To
manage MSDE 2000, we need to use OSQL.EXE utility. It is a command-line
utility and not like Enterprise Manager, which provides GUI interface.
