Today we had a very heated discussion at work regarding the availability of a 64 bit version of SSMS and BIDS with SQL Server 2008 64 bit.

While I know for sure that such a thing does not exist for SQL 2005, I could neither convince nor prove that this does not exist for SQL Server 2008 64 bit. The lead developer who claims that this exists even went to the extent of saying that with SQL 2008 64 bit, you can actually double click on an SSIS package and edit it within SSMS. I suspect the developer is referring to a maintenance plan.

Since we ran out of time, the discussion will continue tomorrow. I have searched the internet and Microsoft, but I am unable to find much documentation on this.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
