Can I Use SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition For Client Tools?

My ISP has me licensed for a production SQL Server 2005 database, yet they
cannot provide me with the client tools that I need, specifically SQL Server
Management Studio and SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio.
If I purchase SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition will it have these two tools,
and will I be able to work with my production SQL database? Just for
clarification, I use the Business Intelligence studio to drop my existing
tables, and I migrate from locally-stored ACCESS databases to my production
SQL Server 2005 each night.On Jul 30, 3:46 pm, MIA Mark <MIAM...@.discussions.microsoft.com>

Yes, this should be fine. The licensing might be a bit of a gray area
though; but, I think that the ISP license should cover the production
deployment.
