MSDE Limitations : Best GUI

From the posts, you guys say that MSDE has no GUI. I know there are 3rd
Party GUI's out there.
So the question is, what's the best/most robust one?

Really depends on your requirements. You could also ask what is the best
car, but since you can test drive just about any car you like, you'd be a
better judge than any of us.

MSDE installed, now what?

I've run the install from the command prompt for MSDE. Is there a GUI somewhere that I can fire up? I don't see anything installed in my programs or any shortcuts anywhere, so I'm not sure where to go from here and how to tie my aspx pages into it. Thanks.Hi,

No GUI for MSDE natively except that you can use other third party 'control panel' to configure the MSDE engine. After installing the MSDE from command prompt , your next step is most likely to install the SP3 and then get started writing code against your database. :)
