Is SQL Studio part of SQL Server Express 2005 edition?

If not, how do you restore a database to the server if there is no Studio to use?

There is a free express edition of SQL Server Management Studio as well:

Thanks, but is the studio express part of the sql-server express package? I found studio express on my machine and I have no idea where it came from.
Craig Johnston
It depends what components were installed to begin with, so I cannot answer that.

A: 

You can download SQL Server Express with Advanced Services here. It will give you management studio and reporting features as well.
