Basics

Hi there,

I've recently bought Visual Studio 2005, and I got SQL server 2005. I have no idea how to work it. I can't even find where you make a table.

Any basic help about SQL server 2005 is needed.

Thanks,
AliQ

Hello AliQ,

SQL Server Books Online has all the information you need, including tutorials and the like. Perhaps do a google on "SQL Server tutorial".

Cheers,
Rob

Hi AliQ:

To find books online from machines you have installed SQL Server 2005, go to Start -> Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -> Documentation and Tutorials -> SQL Server Books On Line.

To start using SQL Server, Launch Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio by:

Start -> Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -> SQL Server Management Studio.

When launched, if "Server name:" field is empty, please try to enter one of the following:

1. your computer name. or

2. (local)

and click "Connect" buttom.

Once when you connected to Database engine, you can create database, table, management database security..etc from here.

To learn more about SQL Server 2005, I'd recommand the following reference from MSDN.

Hope this helps. :-)

Thanks.
