DaVinci Toolset

How do I obtain the DaVinci toolset for SQL Server? I've seen many
references to them but none of them mention how to obtain them, or
whether they are included in SQL Server, etc. Where are they located?
That functionality has been released as SQL Server Management Studio.
They are loaded with the "Workstation tools" option upon install.

|||In SQL Server, the DaVinci toolset includes the Database Diagrams, Table
Designer, and the Query and View Designer. DaVinci is actually a code name.
the tools are referred to as the "Visual Database Tools" in SQL Server Books
Online and in the Visual Studio documentation.
If you have SQL Server 2000, the tools are included in Enterprise Manager.
For example, if you right-click a table in EM and select Design Table, the
Table Designer is opened. See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vdtsql/dvcondatabasedevelopmentvisualdatabasetools.asp
for more information about these tools in SQL Server 2000.
If you have SQL Server 2005, the tools are included in SQL Server Management
Studio. See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186322.aspx
