Ok, I'm going to try the MS SQL verison of this forum. Can someone tell me what a good (free is better) manager for MS SQL is? Is there a MSSQL Front, that works like MySQL Front? I cannot get the Microsoft manager, because I dont have any way to get the Developer Edition of SQL Server right now. I know that the trial version also includes the manager, and the tools don't expire, but I have dialup and downloading it would take forever.

I use a program a friend of mine coded for him so that he wouldn't have to use the slow Enterprise Manager. It's called DBManager. I will ask if he will let me send it out to folks.

I've used WinSQL and ASPEnterpriseManager (Actually an ASP script!)

Wow. That WinSQL program seems like a dream come true. Downloading it now. If it can actaully power MS SQL and MySQL all in the same application it's well worth the money.

Thanks!

MS have just released a free: web-based 'enterprise manager', that looks OK.

Cheers,
Andrew

Greate! I'll check that out too. I'm not having much luck with the WinSQL program, so right now I'm just using Microsoft Access 2002 with MSDE to connect to the MS SQL database, and so far it's working greate! Seing as how the sql_setup file generates all the tables via code. I still have all the basic features, I think my only downfall is not being able to backup the database.

Thanks for the help! 

Edit:

Actually I just gave it another swing, and got the WinSQL Professional running. It looks like everythings working correctly, but I want to make sure I'm doing things right, seeing as I'm just starting with MS SQL and I've never used WinSQL before. The most important thing to me is being able to backup my database 100%, I want everything backed up, structure and data. Can I get some information on how to do this via WinSQL. I checked there help documents but it dosen't look like there all that detailed... at least the ones that I found.

I am going to try out the SQL version of WWF 7.5 now. All my hosting oackages only support access though!

One of the best I have used, which I posted in the database section of this forum is called DBAMGR2k..It is FANTASTIC. It allows you to use MSDE7/2000 and SQL7/2000. It has full source code in Visual Basic.

vb code is greate. i could debug that in a hart beat.

I dont think it works on windows xp, because i continue getting errors:

"DLL's not found, check for supported operating systems"

on this line,

Public objServer As SQLDMO.SQLServer2

I don't know, but I don't have a lot of time to play with it right now.

I'd guess you don't have the DMO component(s) installed. 

You can probably get them from MS somewhere, or it would come with the client tools if you can get a copy (but then, why would you need this right!).

I'm just going to find someone with a high speed connection and download the trial version of MS SQL Server 7.0 for free. The developer tools like, Enterprise Manager do not expire and you can use them forever, MS even grants upgrades to them most of the time. The only thing that expires is the developer server...

Thanks!

Really? Could you point me to the link at MS which says that?

Cheers,

It's almost 3am here, and I'm going to get some sleep. Got work in the morning...

I'm going to try and use one of our webservers to download it tomorrow, I'll jump on sometime and post the link.
