You need to download Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 (Or the 2008 version). It is also possible to design the database and run queries inside Visual Studio.

1Im pretty sure it'll work in windows 7. But otherwise you can always use [SQL Server 2008 Management Studio](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7593), it'll support 2005 databases also. – Magnus Oct 27 '12 at 10:19
