Microsoft websites (e.g. http://www.microsoft.com/sql/edition.../features.mspx) keep refering to a way to manage databases and query data right from within Visual Studio 2005. I've heard it referred to as a mini Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer right inside VS. How does one access that tool? Thanks.
It's very simple. On the left hand side of the screen you will have a tab "Server Explorer". Open it up. Create a connection to your DB. Then from there you can add tables, modify them, write queries, create SPs ..etc.
