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

How to find the SQL Server Compact Edition?
Thanks
SQL Server Compact Edition is a file-based solution (using .sdf files), not a server-based solution like SQL Server Express.
Therefore SQL Server CE cannot (really) be managed/handled by SQL Server Management Studio. (I do know - some people claim you can - but I personally have never been able to open any .sdf file in any version of SQL Server Management Server).
You'll need something like the SQL Server CE Toolbox to look at those .sdf files and their contents

Is there a query analyzer in SQL Server 2005 Express edition?

I have downloaded the SQL Server 2005 Express edition and I was not able to fine query analyzer to run the queries or design the database.
You need to download Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 (Or the 2008 version). It is also possible to design the database and run queries inside Visual Studio.

How to integrate SQL Server 2005 Express Edition to Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition

I use Visual Web Developer Express Edition 2008 and SQL Server 2008 Express edition. I have finished a project recently. But many of hosting firms don't have SQL Server 2008. So i decided to uninstall SQL Server 2008 and install SQL Server 2005. Then I would reproduce my database. I uninstalled SQL Server 2008, installed SQL Server 2005. In project, When i clicked "App_Data - Add new item - SQL Server Database", an error accured "Connections to SQL server files (*.mdf) require SQL Server 2005 to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkId=49251". I couldn't add a new database to my project.
So how do i integrate SQL Server 2005 Express Edition to Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition?
Check the setting under Tools > Options > Database Tools > Data Connections for the SQL Server Instance Name refers to the name of your SQL Express 2005 instance.
Check SQL Server Express is running using the SQL Server Configuration Manager.
