Missing SQL Server Project template

I have VS2005 Beta 2 (build 8.0.50215.44) and the June CTP of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition installed.

Within VS2005, when I go to File -> New Project, I don't have the "Database" project type under either VB or C#.  Which also means that the "SQL Server Project" template is not being offered.

Is there a manual way of adding the template, or some other workaround/solution

    It's the full version of Visual Studio 2005, Beta 2, that was released in mid April.

    Which editions of VS.Net 2005 do have the "SQL Server" project templates   Or can they be downloaded from somewhere   (I have not been able to find such a place...)

    Many thanks.

    Nevermind.  I have VS.Net 2005 Beta2 and didn't notice that if I expanded the Visual C# under the project types tree, there was a database node which contained the "SQL Server" project template.

    Take care.

    Which SKU of Visual Studio are you using Visual Studio Express does not have SQL Server project support.

    Actually database projects are not availble in VS Express and VS Standard editions. It sounds like that is what you have. Can you confirm
