I'm trying to create a new database using SQL Server 2008, and these are the steps that I follow:
Start -> Microsoft SQL Server 2008 ->
I get 2 options:
Configuration tools
Import and Export Data (32 bit).
So I choose Configuration tools and then get these options:
SQL Server Configuration Manager
SQL Server error and usage reporting
SQL Server Installation Center
When I click 1. SQL Server Configuration Manager and start SQL Server sqlExpress I get an error stating request failed or server did not respond in timely fashion.
Could you guys please help.
Usually if you don't see the Mgmt Studio option you forgot to select to install it during your SQL installation.
You need SQL Server with Tools download. When you install with that package you will have the ability to install Management Studio.
You can get it here: http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/editions/express.aspx
If you installed SQL Server Express alongside with Visual Studio, you're not getting Management Studio. You need to:
either download and install SQL Server Management Studio Express from the Microsoft web site
use Visual Studio as your frontend to SQL Server Express (works for most tasks - but not all)
install a full version of SQL Server and make sure to choose the Client Tools feature (that's the Management Studio) and use that to administer your .\SQLExpress instance

It seems that you have not selected the Management Tools Options while installing the sql server.Check all client tools options with Management Tools option while installing.
Try to reinstall or repair your installation.
After completed your installation Press Windows+R and type SSMS then Press Enter.It will open SQL Server Management studio.
Maybe you haven't installed Sql Server Management Studio, only Sql Server.
Look for Sql Server Management Studio in the start menu and if it's not there then you'll need to install it.

I have a server running SQL Server 2008 R2, and the Analysis and Integration services are running on that server.
I have on my Windows XP PC Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio.
In Visual Studio, when I go to open a new Analysis Services project, it lets me. However, if I try to open a new Integration Services project it doesn't let me and at the end it tells me that:
To install Integration Services, run SQL Server Setup and select
Integration Services.
So I locate the install media and run Setup and chose this option:
New installation or add features to an existing installation.
However, through the steps, it looks as if it's going to install the server engine on my PC, so I hesitated and stopped the process.
I looked around and found this one How to install SQL Server Management Studio 2008 component only that refers to being able to
install just the Client/Workstation Components
but I didn't see that so far.
I also found this: http://www.codefrenzy.net/2011/06/03/how-to-install-sql-server-2008-management-studio/ and she says to
Run the SQL Server Management Studio installer
What is she referring to? I don't see that in my media.
I wonder, wouldn't it be logical to start the install process with asking Client components or Server components or both?
please uninstall and reinstall SQL Server Management Studio(Client/Workstation Components) on client PC, in order to work with SSIS.
I installed Microsoft SQL Server 2008, but there is no SQL Server Management Studio icon.
All the tutorials I found on installing SQL Server 2008 say that in order to start it, I need to go Start -> All programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2008 -> SQL Server Management Studio, but the icons in the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 are
Import and Export Data (32-bit)
folder Configuration Tools in which are three icons:
SQL Server Configuration Manager
SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting
SQL Server Installation Center
I have Windows 7.
I am not sure if Management Studio is installed by default, but I know there is an option to select it during setup. You may have just missed it. You may be able to go back into setup and tell the installer to install Management Studio.
Run the installer again and make sure you check the Management Tools as well.
BTW: what version have you installed? Express or Standard? Express comes in different downloads
If you have installed the Express version, there are two downloads. Express and Express with Tools. Check out this link for more information (it's R2, but 2008 was the same say): http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/editions/express.aspx
If you do not have Express or you do have the Express With Tools version, then when you install SQL Server (run the install package) you'll have a bunch of check boxes for what components to install. One of those is management tools. You'll need that selected to have SQL Server Management Studio installed with the instance (or a stand alone install).
I have SQL Server 2008 R2 Express installed on my workstation. I’m in the process of learning Entity Framework, and wanted to use the Management Studio Profiler to help understand the SQL commands generated by EF.
Since the Express version does not include the Profiler, I installed SQL Server 2008-R2 Developer side-by-side with Express. The installation went perfectly and I had no problem adding my databases to the full Server installation.
The problem is that Management Studio – Complete was not installed with the full SQL Server so I still don’t have access to the profiler. I re-ran the installer so I could install the Complete version, but it is greyed out and I cannot select it for installation.
Can someone help me get Management Studio – Complete installed?
If I have to uninstall the Express version, will that hurt anything (I have VS2010 Ultimate installed as well)?
Thanks!
I ran into this and had the hardest time getting the Management Tools - Complete to install. I finally got it working by running the upgrade. Even though it was already Enterprise edition with nothing obvious to upgrade I went through the update wizard. After that I was able to do the install of the complete tools.
Steps:
Run the installer -> Maintenance -> Edition Upgrade -> follow the wizard.
Then -> Run the installer -> Installation -> New SQL Server stand-alone ... -> ... "Add features to existing install" -> Management Tools - Complete.
To solve the problem I uninstalled SQL express and the Basic version of Server Management Studio.
Uninstalling SQL Express is not intuitive as it does not appear as a separate item in the “Programs and Features” window.
To uninstall it, I right-clicked on “Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)” and selected Uninstall/Change”. This opened a dialog, from which I selected ‘Remove’. I navigated though the process until I arrived at a screen which allowed me to elect to remove the Express version (all items with 'Express' in the name). I also elected to remove Management Studio Basic.
After SQL Server Express and Management Studio Basic were uninstalled, I started the SQL Server 2008 R2 installer; this time I was able to select Management Studio Complete for installation.
The installation process executed normally; when it finished the Complete version of Management Studio was available and I was able to execute the Profiler.
Uninstalling SQL Server Express appears to have done no harm to my system; I was able to modify the Server Explorer data connection in VS2010 to connect to my database in the full version of SQL Explorer.
This process outlined above worked for me; YMMV.
In my case I was trying to install instance features, while SQL Management Studio is a Shared feature.
Another way of installing SQL Management Studio is to install another instance using SQL With Tools or the Advance Services issue. Do not look into another instance that is already installed.
i just installed sql server 2008 express in order to learn microsoft sql.
why should i install sql management studio express? is it much easier to use this GUI?
If you installed SQL Server 2008 Express and got a GUI, that is the SQL Management Studio Express which was included in the installation.
They have a seperate installation fo the Management Studio Express, which will install just the client GUI without the database server, in case you want to use it to connect to a SQL Server database running on another machine.
The default GUI for SQL Server is Management Studio, so you should already have it. If not, it is a free download here.
It gives you visual access to tables, stored procedure and many of the other features of SQL Server. Not to mention a nice SQL editor with syntax highlighting which also works as a SQL console.
