A friend sent me this this morning. Looks very promising. It is a cross platform report writing tool for PHP. Seems very interesting but I have not tried it yet.

With SQL Server 2005 MS is changing thier pricing and distribution scheme. It may be worthwhile for developer to embrace the MSDE 2000 version. There are admin tools available very cheaply or FREE, for it here:

a more expensive tool: http://www.teratrax.com/tdm/index.html

Another free Query tool: http://www.toadsoft.com/toadsqlserver/toad_sqlserver.htm

Another slightly expensive tool, but looks nice: http://www.valesoftware.com/products-msde-manager.php

And a very expensive tool (NOTE: I used their managers for Open Source DBs like MySQL and Postgres and they are VERY VERY nice): http://www.sqlmanager.net/products/mssql

Nice Looking free tool: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/dbamgr.html

A very nice list I found after writing this can be found here: http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2442
