I am new to SQL Server Management Studio. In my company it is used just to sink data from source table to convert into predefined format, for that I use few queries in query table.
Please guide what else SQL Server Management Studio can help me?
SQL Server Management Studio includes the following general features:
Supports most administrative tasks for SQL Server.
A single, integrated environment for SQL Server Database Engine management and authoring.
Dialogs for managing objects in the SQL Server Database Engine, Analysis Services, and Reporting Services, that allows you to execute your actions immediately, send them to a Code Editor, or script them for later execution.
A common scheduling dialog that allows you to perform action of the management dialogs at a later time.
Exporting and importing SQL Server Management Studio server registration from one Management Studio environment to another.
Save or print XML Showplan or Deadlock files generated by SQL Server Profiler, review them later, or send them to administrators for analysis.
A new error and informational message box that presents much more information, allows you to send Microsoft a comment about the messages, allows you to copy messages to the clipboard, and allows you to easily e-mail the messages to your support team.
An integrated Web browser for quick browsing of MSDN or online help.
Integration of Help from online communities.

I am a relative beginner and will be doing database development against SQL Azure. I am confused by what seems to be a dizzying array of choices for development workflow. What I want to accomplish, in a very general sense is:
Do development and debugging against localdb
Deploy the changes from localdb to Azure whenever
Repeat
With respect to making DDL and data operations it seems like I can:
Use SQL Server Management Studio to connect directly to Azure and make changes
Use SQL Server Object Explorer within Visual Studio to do the same
Use a Visual Studio Database Project to make schema and other changes
Use Azure's web interface
Probably more
What do you recommend?
Personally, I use Code First Entity Framework with a datacontext that points to my local db. When I am ready to deploy my code to SQL Azure, I simply change the connection string on my datacontext and use the Update-Database command on package manager to apply all recent changes to sql azure. You could of course just simply have two instances of Sql Azure, a development instance and a production instance. But the drawback of this, is that it means you will always need an internet connection when working against your development Sql Azure instance.

I am working on my notebook(4GB ram) with SQL Server 2012 and since I installed with the default settings, It uses too much memory. When I check the processes sqlservr.exe is around 230MB and reportinservicesService.exe around 75 MB, msmdsrv.exe (analysis Services) 35MB etc.
So my question to those sql experts; If I am just doing simple DB new built, what would you suggest me in order to save some memory? I would like to suspend and run some services on demand only. for example, Can I stop reportingservicesservice.exe. I guess it is only when I need report from sql or is it also for tsql?
thanks for your suggestings.
The bare minimum you need to run SQL Server is just sqlservr.exe, i.e. "SQL Server" or "SQL Server (EXPRESS)" in the Services control panel applet. Nothing else is essential.
You don't need any of the below to be running
Freetext (filter) daemon
Reporting services
Analysis services
Integration services
SQL Server Agent
SQL VSS writer
You can go back and enable them when you get to the point where you are working with those features.

I need to move a lot of data from an OLD DB2 server to SQL Server. I'd like to create a linked server using the OLE DB Provider for DB2 on my SQL Server. What I don't know is what is required on the DB2 side. The DB2 server belongs to another organization and most of the people that worked with it have retired. The version is "DB2 for VSE 6.1". Can I connect to that from SQL Server by default? If not, is there optional software that can be installed that will provide connectivity? I believe I need DRDA application server support, but that is all I have been able to find so far. Because of the volume of data, I would prefer not to use intermediate text files if possible. Are there other options that will work with V6.1?
If you can use SSIS, which can be available or not, depending on your SQL Server Edition, I recommend you to use this tool for moving the data. It help you handle of the complexities of data type changes, conversions, validations...
As far as what you need to connect to DB2, have a look at this. It not only explains how to use SSIS to connect to DB2, but also explain where you can download a DB2 driver.
I can't assure this driver will work with you particular version of DB2.
Look also here.

i want to send an email as a user inserts some data into a table. is this possible in sql express? please help with the code.
i would use a trigger for insertion on the table.
for email what features shall i have on my PC. i have Windows XP.
As far as I know, SQL Express does not support the Database Mail feature, so this would not be possible out of the box. As per the note at the bottom of the Database Mail MSDN article for Sql Server 2008 R2:
Database Mail is not available in SQL
Server Express.
A more robust solution would be to embed the notification logic in the application tier (e.g C#) which talks to the database.
As far as I didn't find any deprecation against enabling SQL CLR onto SQL Server Express,
you can try to use SQL CLR Trigger with System.Net.Mail objects.
This is not possible with SQL Express. If you happen to update to the full management studio you would use msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail to send your email.

I want to start with SQL Server SSIS. Kindly guide how to start with it and what are the areas that need to be looked in first.
Before diving in and getting your hands dirty start with the basic theory first. You want to be able to provide an answer to the questions "What is SSIS and what is it used for?"
My advice, start at the beginning, read the Microsoft supporting documentation for SQL Server Integration Services and develop an overall understanding of the technology and its features.
Another good place to start would be the Getting Started (Integration Services)
Then why not have a go at some of the Tutorials that Microsoft make available.
Suggest you type 'SQL Server SSIS Tutorial' into google, or follow this link
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=sql+server+ssis+tutorial&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=
Top result is http://www.accelebrate.com/sql_training/ssis_tutorial.htm
Alernatively, document exactly what it is you want to do, and then see if you can find something to help you.
I assunme you have SQL Server installed.
At the very start, click Start Menu -> Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -> SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio.
From in Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) you will be able to create a new SSIS project.
Searching Google (or Bing) for "SSIS tutorial" would yield lots of results.....
E.g.
SSIS Tutorial: SQL Server 2005 Integration Services Tutorial
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) (Introduction)
SSIS Tutorials - Introduction to SSIS Tasks
and many, many more...
