An Introduction to SQL Server Management Studio Express Edition SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express Edition (SSMSE) provides the database developer and administrator with a robust set of tools for working with Microsoft® SQL Server™ Express Edition. Based on the same technology and functionality as that in SQL Server Management Studio, SSMSE uses Microsoft Visual Studio® .NET 2005 user interfaces and IDE layout, so that switching between SSMSE and Visual Studio .NET 2005 easy. This familiar interface allows .NET developers to be productive more quickly. The features in SSMSE are limited to those that are needed to manage a SQL Server 2005 Express Edition database. While you can use SSMSE to manage other editions of SQL Server 2005, you cannot manage components of the server that are not in SQL Server Express. For example, you can connect only to the relational database engine only by using SSMSE because other services are not installed with SQL Server Express. SSMSE and SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) cannot be installed together. If multiple editions of SQL Server are installed on your computer, you can only use SSMS and not SSMSE.
