Query Analyzer

[NagsHead]

I just formatted my harddrive and deleted my copy of enterprise manager and the query analyzer. If I download SQLEVAL.exe (with 120 day trial) and just use the query analyzer, will it expire after 120 days? I had the last version for years, as well as the enterprise manager without expiring - but it's been so long I can't figure out how to get it back. My sql server space is on a remote server so I don't need the entire package.

Thanks! Karen

I went ahead and downloaded sqleval.exe (267.7MB) and installed only the client tools (enterprise manager and query analyzer). They do not appear to have any evaluation time constraints on them.

It seems like there should be an easier way, but as far as I could find there is NO other way to get these tools apart from downloading the entire evaluation package.

They are not 'stand-alone' tools. You only get them with the purchase of certain versions of SQL Server.

Which version of SQL Server do you have? It shouldn't be the eval version as that would have expired by now. You can run the install disk for whatever version you do have and select Client Tools Only.

My sql server space is hosted - so I don't personally own any version myself. But I still need the tools.

Apparently the eval version gives unlimited access to the tools - they never expire. (That is what I was asking)
