I did it using the commands as described here and it works but I want to do it using the SQL Management Studio.

SQL Server 2008 Books Online says this:

To create a full-text catalog:

  1. In Object Explorer, expand the server, expand Databases, and expand the database in which you want to create the full-text catalog.

  2. Expand Storage, and then right-click Full Text Catalogs.

Select New Full-Text Catalog.

In the New Full-Text Catalog dialog box, specify the information for the catalog that you are re-creating. For more information, see New Full-Text Catalog (General Page).

Click OK.

There’s no such option as Storage in my SQL Server Management Studio.

Am I missing something?

  1. Ok. It appears that SSMS-E does not support management of FullText catalogs.

    There is a free add-in on CodePlex (http://www.codeplex.com/FulltextManager) that appears to add this functionality.

    Alternately, you could purchase SQL2008 Developer edition (I believe the cost is still only $49US) which includes the full edition of SSMS, and can connect to a SSE installation.
