I have recently successfully completed the installation of SQL Server 2008 Express.
After installation when I tried accessing SQL Server Express I found there was no Management Studio installed.
Is there an issue with express, that Management Studio is not installed during installation?
If yes how do we access SQL Server in this case?
I also tried installing Management Studio separately but however when I tried to login through the installed Management Studio the server was not found.
Am I missing something?
Does SQL Server Express not come with Management Studio?
Please Assist.
Thanks
sql server 2008 express does not have management studio. There is a Management Studio Express, but, IIRC, it must be downloaded separately.
The SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express can be downloaded from here. You'll need it to use a management studio with Express edition.

I'm on Windows 7 (64 bit). I cannot figure out why Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio does not exist.
I can see the SQL Server running and also tried installing SQL client, but I had no success with that.
I desperately need help please.
Thanks
In SQL Server 2016 it has its own link:
Just download it here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt238290.aspx
If you have the installation Disk(s), you can install Sql Server Management Studio (SSMS) by going into Add features to an existing instance of SQL Server 2008
See step by step guide here including screenshots.
I Installed SQL Server 2008 Express on a client PC (I install SQL Server 2008 Express from Visual Studio Setup Version for C# program)
But I don't see SQL Server Management Studio icon in all programs windows.
Now if I want control tables and database in SQL Servers, how can I do this?
Just installing Sql Express on it's own will not give you any client tools.
If you have a full Sql Server (Dev or otherwise) already installed on the same client, the existing tools will allow you to manage the Express database instance too. Otherwise, you wil need to install the version of Sql Express that comes with tools. This can be found here
Sql Express with tools
From what I understand, it should automatically have it installed. What I have installed right now is SQL Server 2008 R2 and Visual Studio 2008 Developer.
Thanks,
Fahad
If you installed the SQL Server 2008 R2 client tools, you will see the Business Intelligence project templates in Visual Studio 2008.
So, make sure that you installed SQL Server 2008 R2 client tools and not just the Express edition.
Check the following link to understand which SQL Server editions support Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS).
Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2008 R2 - Development Tools
Follow this link to find the steps to install SQL Server client tools.
SQL Server 2008 Client Tools Installation
Update:
If you have the SQL Server 2008 R2 Client tools installed, you should see a folder in the Windows Start --> All Programs option. Within that you should see SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. If you don't, then you don't have the client tools installed.
You can also open Visual Studio 2008 and navigate to Help --> About Microsoft Visual Studio and look for the following components to be installed.
SQL Server Analysis Services
SQL Server Reporting Services
SQL Server Integration Services
you need to install SSIS, SSAS and SSRS (which come with SQL Server 2008 installation, you just have to pick the option).
Once you install any them you will have access to BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio), which is visual studio with the BI templates
I had VS-2008 in my PC and it was working fine with SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005.
But when i upgrade my Visual Studio Version to 2010, SQL Server stops working. Now i have MS Visual Studio 2010 in my PC and it is working fine. But when i start SQL Server it Doesn't suggest me any Server name.
I think VS 2010 doesn't support SQL Server 2005.
How could i start SQL Server, can anybody please help me with that.
