VS Server Explorer or SQL Management Studio
-
I always have used Management Studio and don't want to waste any time getting to know sever explorer in VS if it's not up to the job - so have you experience of both? which do you use, and why? Ta

I only use SSMS. Integration into VS is just wrong.

I must admit the main reason i was contemplating it was that I now have a VS config over two monitors - and the 2nd monitor hides the SSMS window unless they are carefully positioned - and the Wibn7 docking doesn't work on the VS child windows - so I figured if only I could dock SSMS into the VS docking system , I would have the best of both worlds...

I tried, I really did try and use the VS data projects and server explorer. Originally I wanted to take advantage of source control and have 1 integrated platform. Then I chucked it for SSMS, just like I don't think the clr belongs in the database I don't think the database belongs in VS.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

I use SMS for 90% of my database needs. I use Server Explorer only when I need to drag tables into a

SSMS for the database, VS2010 for asp.net/c#. Why would you do it any other way? :)

Sorry, but that's nonsense. Both have their uses. Obviously DBAs and the like would use SSMS but there are many times when VS Server Explorer can do things that SSMS simply cannot do. The example already given of populating a LINQ to SQL class being just one.

I use my database-agnostic command-line tool or that.
