We still run SQL Server 2000. We need access to the full version of "SQL Server Management Studio" in order to use the Red-Gate SQL Refactoring tool, without buying the full SQL Server 2005 system. (The Express version of Studio does not work with the Red-Gate tool.)
Can anyone advise if it is possible to get/buy (and if so, where) the full "SQL Server Management Studio" version? I can't see any links to it on the MS site.
TIA
Barry
Visual Studio 2005 Enterprise comes with SQL 2005 Developer.

Amazon sells SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition for $42.00, which includes SQL Server Management Studio

|||As indicated above, the Developer Edition should work for your purposes -as long as it is ONLY used in the development environment.
However, if you 'touch' a production server with SSMS, you are out of license compliance.
