Query Editor standalone? Like Query analyzer

With Sql Server 2000 you could select and launch the query analyzer without going through the Enterprise Manager. Is there a method for doing the same thing with the new Query Editor, without going through the SqlServer Studio Manager?

Thanks;
Mark E. JohnsonThere is not, no.|||Mark,

Query Analyzer from SQL Server 2000 can connect to a SQL Server 2005 database and be used as before (Note that I can't give any advice on what licensing issues there may be). Not all of the Object Browser functionality works, but from your question, I suspect that's not as important. But the editor features, including graphical query plans, for example, work just fine against 2005.

|||Thank you. What it really means for us, is that there will be a different method for pulling up the query tool. A discussion about what tools we really desire on a developers desktop etc will be in order.

Thanks again;
