I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio for an old database that is SQL Server 2005 based. I want to debug my T-SQL code but SQL Server is telling me:
the transact-sql debugger does not support SQL Server 2005 or earlier
versions of SQL Server
What can I do for debugging that T-SQL code?
Yes you are right Management Studio 2008 doesn't support SQL Server 2005 T-SQL code debug.
But you can use Visual Studio. I hope, this article will help to you http://www.dotnetfunda.com/articles/show/27/debugging-stored-procedures-in-sql-server-2005

Can you open a sql express 2014 database in sql management studio 2008?
Yes, you can open a SQL Express 2014 database in SQL Management Studio 2008, although not everything in the Object Explorer will work. For example when you try to use the table designer an error will be thrown, however, it will have no problem running SQL queries against the database.
I have Sql Server 2012 SP1 but I can't find how to create a sql compact server. It is not under connections like it was in sql server 2008.
Did they move it or do I have to install something else? According to web platform installer I have sql compact server 4.0 installed on my machine.
SQL Server 2012 doesn't come with Compact Edition.
I believe it comes with Visual Studio 2012 SP1, and it would be visible trough it.

I have management studio 2005 and 2008, can the 2008 version be setup to connect to 2005? I understand there are new features in 2008 that I wouldn't be able to use, but I mainly use the software to graphical create new tables and assign relationships.
Yes, Sql Server Management Studio 2008 works with Sql Server 2005. However, it does not work with Sql Server 2000.
I incorrectly stated that it doesn't work with Sql Server 2000, while in fact it does. However, having said that, it's probably not going to give you a whole lot usability options if you're connecting to Sql Server 2000.
what are the differences between the SQL Server 2008 Management Studio BASIC and SQL Server 2008 Management Studio EXPRESS?
Do they are the same?
THANKS!
Here is an article about this:

When I try to make a new data connection from a Visual Studio 2008 to a database on SQL Server 2008, it fails. It says, it supports SQL Server connections up to SQL Server 2005 version only.
What is missing in my installation? Or where are settings I should change?
You need to install the Visual Studio 2008 service pack 1.
