I installed SQL 2008 and couldn't find the Show Diagram pane, Show Criteria
pane, etc. Is that not available in 2008? If not, why would something
like that be taken away? It makes it much more time consuming to throw
together ad hoc queries.

Hi

I assume you are in the query editor? If you right click there is a
Pane option and diagram, criteria, sql and resutls are available to
display. I presume this wasn't introduced in SP1 but you don't say
exactly which version you are using.
