I'm trying to create a simple Add-On for SQL Server 2008; it is simply going to pass a parameter from SQL 2008 to a console application.

Although Add-Ons are not specifically supported, according to these articles (1, 2), it is possible in 2005 and I'm assuming also in 2008. However, I've fallen almost at the first hurdle; I can't seem to find SQLWB.EXE (SQL WorkBench) in the expected place. I'm assuming that this file has been replaced in 2008, but I can't seem to pin down the equivalent version.

Has anyone any experience in general in developing 2008 Add-ons? Any good resources?

And can anyone indicate the 2008 replacement for SQLWB.EXE?

  • This doesn't answer the question. SSMS existed in SQL 2005 as well. SQLWB had a different purpose. – ichiban May 11 '09 at 17:21
  • I can't remember why, but I was under the same impression. But checking a SQL 2005 instance, I can't find SSMS.EXE. Further more, the following link seems to indicate that SQLWB *is* SSMS in 2005 - http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2007/10/05/sql-server-2005-open-ssms-from-command-prompt-sqlwbexe-example/. I think David may well be right, which is slightly annoying because it means that I've been conducting a 'wild goose chase'! – CJM May 13 '09 at 15:00
  • @ichiban it does. ssms now does what sqlwb did before. you can use parameters with ssms – Hagai L Aug 29 '12 at 06:40
