MS Sql font end

[duster123]

I have a micro 2005 server sql cd. Is there a front end tool on the cd? or do i have to purchase that separately?

No, there isn't a front end tool as such. It does have Query Analyzer which allows you to script and run commands. It does have Enterprise Manager which is basically a GUI that makes it easy to administer SQL Server.

What do you want your front-end to do? Are you looking for a reporting tool? Or a front-end to supply to your users so they can run scripts?

Is it just for your use or for clients/users?

For you, you could just use Query Analyzer. For clients/users, I don't recommend letting them have access to QA. Microsoft Access is a free front-end that can be used with SQL Server. Visual Basic is another one that can create forms to be used as a front end. I'm sure there are others and that other members will add to the list their favorites.
