Developer Tools can provide developers with a SQL Server Database Engine that lets them write and test Transact-SQL code without having to manage a full server instance of SQL Server. When connecting, the necessary SQL Server infrastructure is automatically created and started, enabling the application to use the database without complex configuration tasks. Once LocalDB is installed, you can initiate a connection using a special connection string. LocalDB installation copies a minimal set of files necessary to start the SQL Server Database Engine. It is available on SQL Server Express with Advanced Services. Microsoft SQL Server Express LocalDB is a feature of SQL Server Express targeted to developers. This version is suited for developers who need a local DB – for remote server administration work you should only use the SSMS version without the local database engine.Applies to: SQL Server (all supported versions) PS 2: stay away of SQL Express with Advanced Services, unless you really really want a database to run in your local workstation. PS 1: while doing research for this post, I came across some great links about SQL lifecycle and support: SQL 2012 SSMS 32bits with SP1 direct link: SQL 2012 SSMS 64bits with SP1 direct link: But if you need the BIDS/SSIS pieces, you will need the full SQL installer and not these (as pointed out in my previous post).Įnough talk, go to the SQL 2012 SP1 Express page here:, enter your language and look for the files named “ SQLManagementStudio_圆4_ENU.exe” or “ SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe“.Īs with my previous post, below are the direct links too (for english language – actually the only version you should consider): If you searching for the RTM version you will have less luck, as I pointed out on my first post about SSMS 2008r2 download. The key here is to look for the Service Pack 1 product page of SQL 2012 Express. Where do I download the 2012 version of just Management Studio? Actually this has been answered already, and in great detail, in this nice article by Jason Strate: (notice it’s from 2013). The cost of updating existing servers is not exactly interesting – the newer versions will be used on mainly on new projects for a while.Īnd this brings me to the current post. Well actually we are on SQL2014 now, but as any brand-new Microsoft product, it will take some time until most of us are using it.
