I am using SSMS 2008 on an XP machine, trying to access a SQL Server 2012 database and get error messages indicating index out of bounds of array. What do I need to do to fix?
EDIT: (thanks #bluefeet ) : You can't install SSMS 2012 on Windows XP. See here: SQL Server 2012 Management Studio for Windows XP
Cause
The server you are connecting to is using SQL Server 2012. The error
is a result of incompatibilities with previous versions of SQL Server
Management Studio i.e. 2005, 2008, & 2008 R2.
Resolution
You will need to download SQL Server 2012 Management Studio to make
changes to your database. You can download it from the MSSQL Express
2012 website.

I am currently running SQL Server 2008 Management Studio (version 10.0.1600.22) and I want to update due to a bug in this version.
All the documentation I have found so far has been for updating to SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio and SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express which I believe are different. Is that right?
I have also found links for updating SQL Server which I once again believe isn't what I'm looking for as I only want to update the client side.
Is there a way (or link) where I can update SQL Server 2008 Management Studio without having to reinstall it?
I believe the management tools for SQL Server 2008 R2 is backwards compatible with SQL Server 2008.
If you want to keep your database instance SQL Server 2008, just run the setup on the installation DVD and choose Maintenance -> Repair. At the screen to select the instance, there is an option to select "Repair shared features only". I don't have SQL Server 2008 DVD, only 2008 R2 DVD, but I believe the 2008 version works the same way.
Or if your computer doesn't have SQL Server database instance, you can do a fresh installation and choose only management tools. Example screen shots (for 2008 R2): http://it-n-careerz.blogspot.com/2013/04/how-to-install-sql-server-management.html
Good luck!
How do I properly configure SQL Server Management Studio 2008 to work with SQL Server 2005 DB? The reason I'm asking is because I'm having trouble with and unable to use Integration Services.

I am trying to restore a backup of a SQL Server 2008 database - but my engine is SQL Server 2005 Express. When I try and choose a different in the Management studio login, there is nothing BUT my SQL Server Express.
Now I am getting the RESTORE HEADERONLY is terminating abnormally on a 4+ GB DB that I need to restore.
Has anyone seen this? I am sure I installed SQL Server 2008 R2 (that's why I see it when I open the Management studio) ...so why do I only have SQL Server 2005 Express engine?
Thanks!

It sounds like you only have the SQL Server 2008 R2 client tools installed. You will see the SQL Server 2008 R2 information on SSMS, but that doesn't indicate whether any server is installed.
I assume that SQL Server 2005 Express was installed already.
Of course, as you're seeing, the restore of a SQL Server 2008 backup will fail on the 2005 Express server.
You will probably have to install SQL Server 2008 R2 server again to get it installed. There are certain minimum requirements to install the server. I'm not positive, but I think if your computer doesn't meet the requirements, the install will automatically install client tools only.

To manage your SQL Compact 3.1 database file from Management Studio Express, you must install Management Studio Express 2005 SP2.

You need to download and install Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express.
You can use either the 2005 or 2008 version of Management Studio to connect to a SQL Server 2005 database.
