Hello<br />
this may be an odd request but, I was wondering if there is a way to 'organise' databases within SQL server 2005 standard.<br />
<br />
We've installed a few applications over the years and we get a large ugly unorganised list of databases under the DB header in SQL studio manager.<br />
<br />
Is there a way to create sub folders, somewhat like in Windows Explorer to organise databases into?<br />
<br />
for example, some programs install more than one database. Rather than 2 or more db's clogging up the view I'd like to create a folder under DB to store all these same application oriented db's. This will also help to to realise at a a glance what programs create how manay databases and so on which are 'logically grouped'.<br />
<br />
Hope that makes sense.<br />
<br />
thanks, regards

SQL Server 2005 database organisation possibility?

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning. It includes support for managing XML data and allows a database server to be exposed over web services using Tabular Data Stream (TDS) packets encapsulated within SOAP (protocol) requests.
