Following may be very simple to some and helpful to other type of question. I have seen this in my server log as well as this has been always first question in my Developer Team. It is about finding the old Query Analyzer in SQL Server 2005.
Where is SQL SERVER 2005 Query Analyzer?
SQL SERVER 2005 has combined Query Analyzer and Enterprise Manager into one Microsoft SQL SERVER Management Studio (MSSMS). To see the familiour Query Analyzer Window follow the image below.
Moving From Query Analyzer to Management Studio
If you spent years in the old tool, Management Studio can feel crowded at first. The good news is that the query window works almost the same way. Click New Query, pick a database from the list, type, and press F5 to run.
A few things that help the move:
- Object Explorer on the left takes over from the old object browser and from most of Enterprise Manager. Right click almost anything to script it.
- Ctrl+T switches results to text and Ctrl+D brings back the grid, just as before.
- Ctrl+R hides the results pane so you have more room for code.
- Registered Servers keeps your list of servers in one place, so you do not type names each time.
Management Studio also lets you open many query windows as tabs, each with its own connection, and save execution plans as .sqlplan files to share with a colleague. Once those habits settle in, most people do not miss the old tool.
Many old habits still work in the query window. F5 and Ctrl+E run the code, Ctrl+L shows the estimated plan, and highlighting part of a script runs only that part. Your old .sql files open without any change, since they are plain text. If a script uses commands from SQL Server 2000, run it on a test server first: the editor opens anything, but the server decides what still works.
Today Management Studio is a free, separate download from Microsoft, and it works with many versions of SQL Server. Keep it updated, because new releases fix bugs and add support for the newest features.
