VS2012 - “Create table” or “show table data” menu option not shown in Server/Database Explorer [duplicate]

Answer 1

I think such options will only be available for Sql Databases, not for Access databases.

Updated Answer

Then I would recommend you to go for Sql Server Management Studio, free tool from Microsoft to Explore Sql Server Database. More flexible than built VS Plugin. Can do a lots of stuffs from there.

Its quite bulky in download (615Mb). here id the FileHippo link Sql Management Studio 2012 Express

I am not sure about what version you have installed in your machine, whether its express or standard. If its express then it will definitely work with the above link. But before downloading make sure you have express edition installed. Also I guess, other edition might come bundled with the Management Studio. You can install from there too.

Answer 2

See this answer.

To summarize, SSDT and Visual Studio Express for Web are incompatible. You need to use the VS 2010 shell to use SSDT.
