Best practise to provide non-DBAs querying capabilities in SQL200

When we used SQLServer 2000, we installed just query analyzer on desktops of
several of our IT folks so they could query data easily. Some of these folks
have admin priv for non-DBA reasons. Now that querying data is integrated
into the SQL 2005 management studio I am not sure the best way to provide
this function to these users. I don't want to give the full management
studio, especially to those with Admin but no appreciation for DBA tasks.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

but QALite may do the trick if I that does not work out. The info I found
on it does not mention SQL2005 , just SQL2000, SQL Server7. Any experience
with QALite on SQL2005?

Best Practices for RS and VSS

We are starting to use VSS2005 for storing projects and rdl files. We are
mainly using it for the versioning capabilities in VSS. Does anyone have any
tips for best practices on how to utilize Visual Studio 2005 and VSS 2005?
IF anyone has a link or two to sites that go over this topic that would be
helpful too.
The problem have had so far is trying to check out the rdl files through VSS
and then open them in Visual Sutdio to edit them. Whenever I have checked
out a file in VSS and then opened the file using the options in VSS to get to
Visual Studio (devenv) I either get a message stating that the carriage
return is messd up in the file or it opens the rdl code... not the designer
window.
If I check out the file in VSS and then open the file through Visual Studio
without using VSS to get to Visual Studio, everything works fine, but that
just seems a little too manual. Thanks in advacne for your help.On Jul 5, 4:50 pm, bsod55 <bso...@.discussions.microsoft.com> wrote:

This is a kind-of undocumented territory. This link might be of
assistance.

Also, if VSS 2005 is not suitable, you could try Subversion or some
other Source Control software.
Hope this helps.
