msde manager

I have installed msde on W2K pro and I am looking for an msde manager, something similar to sql enterprise manager. Does anyone have any suggestions?There are several tools you can use to administer MSDE:

ASP.NET Enterprise Manager, an open source SQL Server and MSDE management tool.

ASP.NET WebMatrix (which includes a database management tool) from this web site (click on the Web Matrix tab at the top of this page).

Microsoft's Web Data Administrator is a free web-based MSDE management program written using C# and ASP.NET, and includes source code.

You can also access MSDE using Access.

Don|||Thanks for the info donkiely! Just what I needed|||The Microsoft's Web Data Administrator MSDE Manager has moved it's URL. you get a redirect at the link provided by donkiely. however, in case that link redirect gets taken away the new URL is: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/aspnet.asp

Farewell,
Quilnux|||Got it! Thank You!

MSDE management

When I install msde on a W2K professional and go into My Computer/manage and
click on Services and Applications, it shows a MS Sql Server entry from which
I can manage msde. When I install on W2003 server, it's not there. Is this
by design ?

What's different is on my W2k pro, under My Computer/Manage/Services and
Applications, It shows Microsoft SQL Servers/MYLOCALSERVER/ then all the
"normal" Enterprise Manager items -- Databases, Maintenance Plans, etc. As
far as I know, MSDE is the only SQL ever installed on my workstation. When I
do an MSDE install on the server, though, the service is there and running
but I don't get the management tools as above. I was surprised when I saw
them on my workstation because I thought to manage msde, you were either
stuck with command line osql statements or third party "Enterprise Manager
like" management tools. So, I'm a little confused.
Thanks

MSDE comes with no management tool but oSql.exe, the command line tool, full
stop.
if you find them on your pc(s), they have been arbitrarily installed by the
SQL Server CD-Rom and no other way..

doing development on this pc and installed sql 2000 from their msdn cd. Now,
my question is, am I violating a license agreement if I just install Client
Tools from a SQL cd even though I am only installing msde ?
Thanks

AFAIK, unfortunately YES...
in order to manage MSDE instance, you can only rely on self made tools or
third arty tools, but not on SQL Server Client Tools..
