Q: 

How to downgrade from SQL Server Express 2008 to SQL Server Express 2005?

Hi friends,

I was using Visual Studio 2008, and I use service based database, then one day I installed Visual Studio C# Express 2010, which automatically upgraded my SQL Server the 2008 Express edition. But I want to use Visual Studio 2008, but it does not support SQL Server 2008.

So, please give me the method to downgrade from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2005, so that it would be fully useful with my Visual Studio 2008......

Please give me the answer as soon as possible.........

Download VS 2008 SP1. It adds support for SQL Server 2008.

What do you mean it doesn't support it?
SQL Server version has nothing to do with Visual Studio.
You can use SQL Server Express 2008 with VS 2008 just fine.

Anyway there's no downgrade path. You can have both of them side by side though.

Mladen, the RTM of VS 2008 does not support SQL Server 2008. The Server Explorer uses SMO 2005 and cannot connect to SQL 2008.
