I have decided to revisit the topic of whats included in Express Edition, with focus on the tools. I have a couple of reasons for this:enCommunityServer 2.1 SP2 (Build: 61129.1)http://www2.sqlblog.com/blogs/tibor_karaszi/archive/2013/01/30/express-edition-revisited-focus-on-ssms.aspx#47402Wed, 30 Jan 2013 22:22:49 GMT21093a07-8b3d-42db-8cbf-3350fcbf5496:47402AaronBertrand<p>Tibor, wasn't Management Studio updated to include all full-version functionality as of SQL Server 2012 SP1?</p> http://www2.sqlblog.com/blogs/tibor_karaszi/archive/2013/01/30/express-edition-revisited-focus-on-ssms.aspx#47404Wed, 30 Jan 2013 23:59:05 GMT21093a07-8b3d-42db-8cbf-3350fcbf5496:47404Thankfull reader :-)<p>Product change: SQL2012 SP1 Express include Complete Edition of SSMS</p> http://www2.sqlblog.com/blogs/tibor_karaszi/archive/2013/01/30/express-edition-revisited-focus-on-ssms.aspx#47409Thu, 31 Jan 2013 11:37:42 GMT21093a07-8b3d-42db-8cbf-3350fcbf5496:47409TiborKaraszi<p>Thanks! Funny how I tried to cover all bases with several downloads of express, connecting to a &quot;full&quot; server, etc. But missed the fact that installer of SP1 has more than installer of RTM.
