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
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.

What is the difference between SQL Server Management Studio and SQL Server Express edition and which is better? I can't understand the relationship between these two. Can anyone help me?
You are talking about 2 different things.
SQL Server Express is one edition (a variant) of SQL Server.
SQL Server Management Studio is a tool that you use to access SQL Server (any edition). You would use it, for instance, to access SQL Server Express, but not as a replacement of SQL Server Express.
Sql Server Management Studio:
It is the tool used to administering, configuring of sqlserver components by using script editors and graphical tools
sqlserver express is the express edition of sqlserver
You can find the list of sql server editions from following link
http://www.sqlserverspace.com/sqlservereditioncomparison.html
In simple words it(sqlserver management studio) is the interface to access sqlserver(database) of any edition(Express,Enterprise,Developer etc)
Yea.
Management Studio is Management Studio. There are not various differences. THe DB has various capabilities, but management studio is management studio.
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.
See Microsoft Support for more information.
Is there any difference between sql server that comes with visual studio 2008
and sql server express 2008 ?
thank's in advance
No, Visual Studio 2008 comes with SQL Server Express 2008. It IS SQL Server Express 2008 - the whole, full, complete, absolutely identical thing to what you can download.
By now, there are four editions of SQL Server 2008 Express:
SQL Server 2008 Express - Runtime only - that's the one bundled with Visual Studio 2008
SQL Server 2008 Express - Management Tools Add-On (SQL Server Management Studio Express)
SQL Server 2008 Express - Runtime + Management Tools (combination of the two above)
SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Services (Reporting Services and Fulltext Search and including the Management Tools)
But the copy included in VS 2008 is indeed the full "SQL Server 2008 Express - Runtime only" package - no difference, no compromise, no "scaled-down" version or anything.
