Which version of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition will work well with VS2005
beta 2?
Is it the SQL Server 2005 CTP - April 2005 - Developer Edition?

Thanks,

Klas,

Have you tried using the one that comes with VS2005?
VS2005 does install a SQL Server 2005 Beta.

I want to install a more complete version of SQL Server.
Specifically, I want the management tools installed (those that were
previously known as Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer). If it is possible
to "add" those to a SQL Server Express 2005, that would be fine too.

Thanks,
Klas

If you are an MSDN Subscriber, you may be able to download the SQL Server
2005 Beta from the download center.

Thanks, I got it working now.
What I first did was install the SQL Express from the standard VS2005b2
installation. When that did not give me the management studio, I installed
the SQL 2005 developer edition that was sorted in Subscriber Downloads below
the VS2005b2. That did not give me the management studio either!
I searched the web, and found out that if you install developer edition on
top of sql express one thing does not work: the management studio! So I
uninstalled both sql servers and installed the developer edition again.
Finally I get the management studio to work. Then I installed sql express to
get quickstarts to work. Whew :)
