Microsoft today unveiled a technical preview of SQL Server 2005 Express Manager, a
newly developed free database management tool and the second Community Technology
Preview of the SQL Server 2005 database.
In addition to quality and performance enhancements, Microsoft promised that the latest
SQL preview code will introduce 64-bit support for SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services
and SQL Server 2005 Integration Services on top of the 64-bit support already included
for the database engine.
The Express Manager database management tool, also previewed today, is designed to
simplify, automate and reduce the complexity of database support and administration.
Built on top of the .Net Framework 2.0, SQL Server 2005 Express Manager can be used
to manage SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) and SQL Server
2005 Developer and Express Edition databases on local and remote computers.
