Re: SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express and Importing SQL 20

If the 2005 instance is not an Express edition then it should be fine. You
can also use sqlcmd to issue the restore or attach commands as well.

It was not a MSDE db. It is full-fledged SQL Server 2000 db.

Can I use SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express to import a SQL
2000
database into a SQL 2005 database?

Is there any tool that will do this?

Can I get a FREE copy of SQL Server 2005 Management Studio (NOT
Express)
somwhere?
