Probably old news to many, but I just got wacked over the head with this. Apparently, If you download the 120 day free trial for MS SQL Server it comes with an Enterprise Manager install that doesn't expire after 120 days. The 120 day free trial is at - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=D20BA6E1-F44C-4781-A6BB-F60E02DC1335&displaylang=en - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=D20 BA6E1-F44C-4781-A6BB-F60E02DC1335&displaylang=en -------------

Thus just because it does not officially expire you are not allowed to used it after the 120 days are up. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

There's another online one at http://www.aspenterprisemanager.com/ - http://www.aspenterprisemanager.com/ both require .net and neither can create an empty db but are useful for trouble shooting and working with an existing db. A lot of people also use the freebie dbamgr2k pc app - also listed as an msde partner app ms - http://www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/partners/default.asp - http://www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/partners/default.asp -------------

I know for a fact that the one i posted will create an empty database because i run it locally to test and i create / delete them all the time. ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">

BTW, i did find something weird a few weeks ago. If you enter the new DB name and just press enter, some times it will create the database file but not show the database (???) so you have to actually press the Enter button. ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">

| WDA is too slow IMHO... its slower than Enterprise manager aspenterprisemanager is quicker but I usually just use server explorer in VS.NET and occasionaly enterprise manager |

I agree but when I'm on the road I frequently need to use a web-based ms sql utility. Used to use WDA, but moved to AEM for the web solution due to speed. From the home station, I prefer EM to server explorer, mostly because I've been using it a long time and find it eay to set up dts packages. -------------
