I recently downloaded ssms 2022 but it refuses to accept connections, make diagrams, giving comments, relations, give design view of the table, etc. the software is upto date and it keeps giving errors like the back end doesn't support. How do i go about this, have tried using both express and developer edition and face the same problem. it says both versions are rtm.
a solution on how to make my ssms function effectively.
The SSMS version being older than the database version. you have to download SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 19 (Preview)
Download SSMS. It is now available and is the recommended version of SSMS for SQL Server 2022.

I hope someone can help me with SSMS, because I can't create table even though I can connect.
Showing this error message every time I try to create table
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
This backend version is not supported to design database diagrams or tables. (MS Visual Database Tools)
The error is literally telling you the problem here, the version of SSMS you are using (SSMS 2012) does not support the back end version that you are using (SQL Server 2019). I can tell it's 2019 because in the top left of that image it has Version 15......
The first version of SSMS to provide support for SQL Server 2019 was SSMS 18.0, which was release on 2019-04-19.

You need to update to a version of SSMS that supports the back end version you are using. Personally, I would suggest updating to the latest version, which is currently 18.9.1.
In SQL Server 2017 Express, v17.4, I am unable to select a compatibility level beyond 2008 (100). The only versions available are 2008 or older. I am training for the MCSA SQL Server developer exams and I want to test some functionality unique to SQL Server 2016 (130) but am unable to do so until I figure out this problem. I did do my best to search here and on Google, but I'm not finding even a slightest reference to this. Is it a limitation of using a free version of SQL Server? As an alternative solution, is there a way to download older developer edition versions of SQL Server that might contain 2016 DB compatibility?
You can download SQL Server Developer edition from Visual Studio Dev Essentials https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads?q=SQL%20Server%202017
Or from here

I've been working on this ASP.Net Project for a few months, and today my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio has expired. Completely overlooked that i may have been using a trial version and not the express edition. I can not access SQL management studio as it says the evaluation has expired.
Is there a way i can downgrade to the express edition (Free), without losing any databases?
Is there a way i can still backup/export the database i have been working on? Ive tried using the import/export 64 bit tool, but ive forgotten my sql server password. I had just been using the default all this time.
Thanks
Backup database: You can get close backup of your databases by copying the data and log files from your Data directory. You can do this just using Windows copy and paste command.
Re-install from trail version: I faced this problem for SQL Server 2008 trial version. When SQL Server 2008 expired, I was able to re-install it as follows:
a) Remove or uninstall all tools of SQL Server completely from Control Panel > Programs and Features.
b) Then, re-install SQL Server as a new fresh tool.
c) After completing the installation successfully, Cope and paste those backup data and log files into new data directory of new installation.
d) Open SQL Server Mgmt Studio and attach the data file to re-create your old database. Your database will be resumed in this way.
I believe you can do this procedure for your SQL Server 2012 trial version too.
I'm currently in the process of coming up with our upgrade plan for our migration from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2012, and some of our business units still use ProClarity.
I'm aware that this is essentially a "dead" application; where Microsoft isn't upgrading it anymore, and it's scheduled to be EOL'ed in the future.
After googling and digging around on Microsoft's forums, I still can't come up with a definitive answer as to whether the 2012 upgrade will be incompatible with Proclarity. (Business users are on 6.2; which is one minor revision behind)
Has anybody tried this out and been successful? Would we need to keep this portion of the BI tools on SQL Server 2008?
Upgrade was successful, and the users were able to connect to 2012 Analysis Services using ProClarity
A while back, I installed SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Services, which installed SQL Server 2008 Management Studio (SSMS) Express as well. Now that we have SQL 2008 Standard on the network some months later, I want to confirm that I don't have to reinstall SSMS 2008 on my desktop. This blog post I found seems to suggest that I'm fine with the version of SSMS that came with SQL Express:
http://weblogs.asp.net/markwisecarver/archive/2008/09/02/sql-server-2008-management-tools-basic-vs-complete.aspx
...but I want to confirm. Unfortunately, the About dialog doesn't give details about an Express vs. a "Full" version of the tool. Anyone know?
Thanks.
They are different. SSMS Express appears to be somewhat of a hybrid of several standard SQL 2008 applications, each paired down to some extent and packaged together. Read more here. You can get more details on SSMSE here. If I were you I would install the full set of tools from the standard addition.
No, they are different. The Express edition of SSMS will work just fine with any higher edition of SQL Server, but it lacks some more advanced features (like the replication designers, etc.) of the higher-end editions.
