[dba-SQLServer] SQL 2005 Server Management Studio

I feel the Express is just 'cripple-ware' and would recommend MySQL for
small low cost jobs.

===I had to reformat to get Management Studio to work, but now that I have
all the pieces working, including VB Express, I have to tell you -- it is
working great and I love it. The entire package brings a level of
development to the little guy that I've never seen before. They can do a
whole lot and never write a line of code -- VB Express does it all for them.


I have to say I disagree unless MySQL has changed a lot. I haven't looked at
it in a long time, so that's possible, but it was terribly difficult to use,
just a few years ago. 

Management Studio makes Express easy to manage. VB Express makes it easy to
develop. 

It's a winner even though I'm still mad at MS for putting us all through so
much installation crap to get here.
