Mgmt Studio not supporting 7.0?
|

| I tried using Mgmt Studio RTM to connect to SQL Server 7.0 instance and
received this:
"This version of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio can only be used to
connect to SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2000 servers (ConnectionDlg)"
I thought Mgmt Studio was going to support 7.0?

| Hi
No. 7.0 is really very close to end of life so no support for it.

Maybe part of the confusion is because the book 'Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -
Changing the Paradigm' mentions that SQL Server 7 will be supported (page
97).

| Hi
Lots of features get dropped from the Product over it's development life.
This support was dropped very early. SMO support for SQL Server 7.0 was
dropped very late and there is still documentation mentioning it.
During the development program, even e-mails were stale by the time most
people read them, let alone printed books.
