but I m unable to see Sql Agent Job in Sql Server 2008
Please help me

Note that SQL Server Agent is a feature only in the Enterprise, Standard, Web, Workgroup, and Datacenter editions.
However, in some situations you can use Windows scheduler to execute a task via a batch file.
It isn't there because SQL Agent is NOT part of the free Express edition. Take a look here to see what is and isn't included in the Express edition.

After install I wanted to practice creating SQL Server Agent jobs, I know that you cannot do this on a SQL Server Express instance, so I'm wondering with my developer edition if it's possible to create a non-SQL Server Express instance, and if so how, thanks.
Please check following tutorial which shows SQL Server 2016 installation step by step
In general for all SQL Server versions the setup procedure is very similar.
You can exclude installing components like Reporting Services, Integration Services, Analysis Services and other optional components if you want to make the setup process simple
What you should install is Database Engine Services! You can exclude the other features under Database Engine if you check the screenshot I shared in the article.
And what is important is the Management Tools that you can use to connect db instance and execute queries, etc.
Although the above tutorial shares the download link, you can also refer to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-sql-server-2016 for SQL Server 2014 and 2012 download links as well
So I realized that I only had SQL Server 2012 Express edition by using:
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('EDITION')
Using the link provided by Eralper I installed SQL Server 2014 developer edition and now have two instances of SQL Server, one is the the express for 2012, the other is the 2014 developer edition. Once I log in to the named instance I can finally see of course the SQL Server Agent node at the bottom.
Thanks everyone for all the help and sorry for the confusion.
I am using SQL Server Management Studio 2005 Express to connect to one of my servers. How do I check the existing jobs in the server I am connected to and modify them?
I am logged in as admin and still can't see the required. I can see the jobs in SQL Server 2000 but not in 2005.
Any suggestion would be helpful. Thanks
May be this can be helpful for you

What is SQL Server Management Studio? Is it the whole SQL SERVER software OR just an interface to operate SQL SERVER software.
SQL Server management studio is just the IDE for making access to SQL Server easier.
It is an interface to help you talk to SQL Server. SQL Server Books Online is an excellent resource to get you started, if you want to find out more: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=be6a2c5d-00df-4220-b133-29c1e0b6585f&DisplayLang=en
I have downloaded SQL SERVER MANAGEMENT STUDIO but SQL SERVER AGENT is not found.
Should I install it separately?
Can anybody tell me the link where SQL SERVER AGENT is available as a Freeware to download it?
The agent is not visible if you use SQL Server Management Studio Express to connect to an SQL Server. You need to install the client tools that come with the server setup to get SQL Server Management Studio.
If you are using SQL Server Express, it has no agent.
SQL Server Agent is a service of SQL Server, not SQL Server Management Studio (which is, in and of itself, an administration tool).
Since SQL Server Agent is part of SQL Server, it's not free. You can learn about creating a job in SQL Server Agent here.
What, pray tell, are you actually trying to do?
You (or your company) will need to purchase the full version of SQL server in order to use this functionality.
The other option is to find the command-line instruction that will achieve what you want and then use Windows Task Scheduler to run the command on the schedule you want.
I'm getting crazy trying to install SQL Server Express Management Studio 2008
Pb for installing SQL Server Express Management Studio 2008
I have tried 10 times, now I give up. But maybe I can try to work with SQL Server Management Studio 2005? Do you know if it will work?
No, you can use the full SQL Server 2008 Management Studio (included in SQL Server 2008 editions other than Express), and it can connect to SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 Express, and any of the 2005 (and even 2000) versions, but it doesn't work the other way around, sorry.
No, as far as I know it doesn't. You will get a message that says it will work with only SQL Server 2005 or later.
No, you cannot use the 2005 SSMS UI against 2008. Maybe in your other thread you can show the log details that explains WHY Management Studio won't install. Many, many people are able to use this tool without issue, so maybe if you want help in figuring out why you can't, you can provide more details...
