-- J.T."I may not always know what I'm talking about, and you may not either."
Very interesting article.
I too miss the ability to copy stored procedures! One has to wonder if they simply forgot about it . . .
I am somewhat surprised no one is mentioning how screwed up Diagrams are. Why didn't they just leave them alone???
To the person complaining about 2005 being too slow -- I put more memory in one of my PCs and that perked it up a bit.
Given that SSMS is a rework of the Visual Studio, why oh why did MS turn off all the good stuff? Specifically, all the Addin and extensibility bits. If they had left this in then, as a community, I am sure we could put all the "missing features" back in.
RedGate seem to have hacked addins into SSMS so perhaps there is hope for us yet...
Where have all the new articles gone?
It's a good article and an interesting subject....but it's a repeat!
Also, since its original publication, we've had SP2, so some of the comments (notably about scripting) are no longer valid.
Shouldn't this be in the One Year Ago section? (Or is it too old for that?)
I have a list of complaints about Mgt. Studio vs. Ent. Manager, ones that people have not addressed...
Can no longer grant a user access to a list of tables in one GUI screen. Each table grant is a seperate task.
I really miss taskpad. I liked the mdf/ldf allocated and used in your face so you can see what part of the logspace is being used and not used.
Simple easy naviation is gone.
Query tool install as a stanalone product. Some developers only need to query a table from time to time. Why do I have to install ALL of this bulky stuff and give them a lesson on how to simply log in and be able to run one select statement. Why can't I simply install a Query Analyzer on a persons PC that only needs to run a query once in a while. We have tons of these type situations here.
Why is using the import / export wizard to simply move data from a table so bulky. After the package is created it is not easily viewable and understandable what that package does.
Granted, there are some improvements in Mgt. Studio, however, I have never see so many features removed for a product upgrade.
