I'm in no way versed in MS SQL. I have a server running SBS 2003, and on this server is a piece of software that was written by another company that uses MS SQL 2000. &nbsp;I'm thinking, probably a limited version, or express? &nbsp;I have looked thru the Programs and cannot find any sort of SQL Server management software. &nbsp;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;I have instructions from my backup software people to make some changes to my SQL database, to allow the software to run, but they start with accessing the SQL manager.... <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; My question, how do I gain access to this SQL database? &nbsp;Is there something I can download to allow me to manage this database? And if so, what are the risks of installing said manager when the database is already installed and running? &nbsp;<br />
