Hi
I want to start to use SQL Server 200 Express but have no idea where to enter the SQL queries and view the results.
I installed SQL Express and under Start > Programs > SQL Server 2005 I only have Configuration Tools which has Configuration Manager, Error and Usage Reporting and Surface Area Configuration.
SQL Server and SQL Server Browser Services are running but I have no clue of from to start creating my database, tables, etc etc.
I have a background of MySQL and used MySQL's command line tool and phpMyAdmin, so SQL is not a problem.
Thanks

Starting to use SQL Server 200 Exp

Hi
I believe you are looking for SQL Server Management Studio Express. Have a look here.

I looks like this section is for people who has started to use Sql Server,
well my question, I create a database with SQL Server Management Studio Express but I have no idea how to
bring it to my website, well I create a website with VWD and I create a database outside with SQL Server
Management Studio Express because it was more easy to create and setup the login and security options.
Now, I need to use that database that I made to connect with my site that I have create with VWD, How can I
connect both together The database and my site.
If I am in the wrong section can someone redirect me to the rigth link,
Thank you,
New User.
