Open SQL Query Designer in SQL Server Management Studio 2008 - sql-server-2008

How can I open the SQL Query Designer in SQL Server Management Studio 2008? I cannot find it.

I don't have SQL Server Management Studio 2008 right now but
Ctrl+Shift+Q doesn't work?

As #Kostis posted or:
Query > Design Query in Editor...
or
New Query > right click on new empty query created > Design Query in
Editor...

Make SQL Server 2008 Management Studio's Intellisense ignore case?

2012-10-04:
SQL Server 2008 Management Studio has intellisense, and it is very helpful, but it is case-sensitive.
For example, I have 3 tables:
Gy_Customer_Email
Gy_Customer_Para
gy_customertemp
Here's how intellisense behaves:
select * from gy_customer -- My input
gy_customertemp -- Intellisense suggestion
select * from Gy_Customer -- My input
Gy_Customer_Email -- Intellisense suggestion
Gy_Customer_Para -- Intellisense suggestion
I want to Intellisense to display all 3 options, regardless of case. How can I do that?

I had installed Service Pack 1 for SQL Server Management Studio according to your reference point, but the issue is still not resolved.
What should I do next?
My SQL Server Management Studio's option:
My SQL Server Management Studio's version
This issue has been reported at least two times on Microsoft Connect:
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/672196/t-sql-is-not-case-sensitive-but-t-sql-intellisense-is
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/402225/ssms-intellisense-make-text-matching-case-insensitive
Both issues are closed, and the problem has apparently been fixed in SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 and in SQL Server 2012.
You should be able to install the updated SQL Server Management Studio on your development PC to resolve the problem you're having, without having to upgrade your database server.

SQL Azure: SMO Exception when scripting objects in SSMS 2008 R2

I am using SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2 to manage a SQL Azure database. When I try to right-click on any of the objects in the database, and do Script Table As -> CREATE -> New Query Editor Window, I get the following exception screen every time:
Scripting for SELECT -> New Query Editor Window is the only option that seems to work without generating an Exception like above. Any ideas??
Here are additional details about this issue.

I am trying to open DTS packages in SQL Server 2008 R2, but getting error

I am trying to open DTS packages in SQL Server 2008 R2. But I'm getting this following error
sql server 2000 DTS Designer components are required to editDTS
Packages.install the special web download, " sql serevr 200 DTS
Designer Components" to use this feature
.(microsoft.sqlserver.dtsobjectexplorerUI)
Anybody help how to make it work?
As I already installed the SQLServer2005_BC.msi & SQLServer2005_DTS.msi
Your question subject says SQL Server 2008, the error message says SQL Server 2000, and you installed SQL Server 2005's MSI. You have three different versions of SQL Server in the three items.
You're trying to install something that either isn't the right version for the SQL Server version you're using (2008), or is no longer available or required for SQL Server 2008. You need to find the proper means of editing DTS files for SQL Server 2008, or research what replaced them in SQL Server 2008.

Is it possible to use SQL profiler 2005 to profile a 2008 database

I'm trying to trace a SQL Server 2008 database, but I only have SQL Profiler 2005 available to me. (Don't ask why, it doesn't make sense to me either). When I try to start a new trace, I get "Unable to locate trace definition file for Microsoft SQL Server version 10.0.0. Click OK to retrieve it from the server. Retrieval may take a few moments".
I click Ok, then ... nothing.
Is there a way I can get this to work?
You have to copy files from a SQL Server 2008 installation into the SQL Server 2005 installation. Copy "Microsoft SQL Server TraceDefinition 10.0.0.xml" (and "Microsoft SQL Server TraceDefinition 10.50.0.xml") from "C:\Programme\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Profiler\TraceDefinitions" into "C:\Programme\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Profiler\TraceDefinitions".
To be able to save templates, you have to create a new folder in "C:\Programme\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Profiler\Templates". For SQL Server 2008 add a directory named "100", for SQL Server 2008R2 add a directory named "1050". If you don't have access to an SQL Server 2008 Profiler installation, you can copy the existing templates for SQL Server 2005 from "C:\Programme\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Profiler\Templates\90" - they work with SQL Server 2008 too.
I think this should be possible, provided you can get the SQL2008 trace definitions, the ones that install with SQL2005 are located here:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Profiler\TraceDefinitions
If you can get the SQL2008 versions (they are XML files) you should be good to go, hope this helps!
