Hi, I came across a tool sometime back called 'QueryExpress' which is a freeware downloadable fromhttp://www.albahari.com/. In fact for MSDE since we do not have GUI tools to manage it, this would be very useful. It is in C#.
TO be frank I don't see much usefulness with QueryExpress, using Query Analyzer you can get more things done and with SQL 2005 there is no looking back.
