SQL Server 2005 has a new administrative tool called Management Studio, with many enhancements and changes from Enterprise Manager. But it's not just for SQL Server 2005 as new author Rob Farley shows us how to use this tool with SQL Server 2000.
This white paper describes how SQL Server 2005 uses tempdb. Many improvements in SQL Server 2005 optimize tempdb usage and make it easier to manage and to troubleshoot.
