                                          | Hi Visakh,Thanks for your prompt reply. SO sql server management studio is needed to be installed on the server or in the client PCs to connect to the database. Am I right? Another silly question, is there any schema concept here in SQl server? or if I connect to the server then I can access any data?ThanksSkr...  |

                                          | yep..Ideally it will installed in client PCs. you dont require it to be installed on the server unless you want to remote onto server and use it for creating queries,monitor etc.Yes. there's schema concept in sql server from 2005 onwards. When you connect to server you'll be mapped to default schema which your login corresponds to. You will not be able to access other schema data unless GRANT permission is given on them or you've admin privileges.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/  |
