If you are deploying a SQL Server solution using the Microsoft SQL Desktop Engine (MSDE), you quickly realize the end users do not have SQL Server ‚ s Enterprise Manager and cannot perform required items like backing up the database and restoring the database when necessary. MSDE Admin has the ability to restore databases, which is good when you want to load a new empty database for the customer when installing a new application. The user (or you the developer) can then perform backups , shrink and truncate databases and transaction logs, create new stored procedures, browse data in tables and views, review error logs, start and stop jobs, and even alter security settings for the server. This is a handy tool for knowledgeable users and for developers that control the user ‚ s machine remotely. More information is available at www.msdeadmin.com . The tool can be downloaded from this site and is US$19.
