Hi...
I'm new using MSDE, and I have many questions to make , I hope you can help solve some of them...
First is, how do I create tables in MSDE? I don't intend to use any tool like Enterprise manager, or Access, or VB. But, is there any free tool that looks like enterprise manager, where i can create my free databases and tables?
Other question is, if I create my tables with enterprise manager, how do I transfer them to another computer that only has MSDE. Is that possible? transfer all the information, database, tables and triggers?

And finaly, I have a last question. I pretend to connect 4 computers to a server. This server will have all the databases. Now, is this possible to make, without using SQL SERVER, whithout having the SQL server service manager installed?

I hope you can give me some answers to solve my problems

Best regards,
Gonçalo Almeida

MSDE provides a command line tool osql.exe

There are a number of db management tools, some free, some not free. Try searching the web. One free asp-based tool is table editor from www.2enetworx.com

You normally can use DTS to copy all database objects from one server to another. Or you can detach a database, copy the file to another server, and re-attach the database file in the new location. The servers probably need the same sql version for this to work. Or you can do a sql backup from one server and restore it to the other server.

Yes to your last question.
