I know mysql, and I'd like to learn sqlserver. I'm currently stuck on the basics of basics:
- How to install and configure sql server
- How to connect to it
I installed Sql Server through Web Platform Installer, and have Visual Studio 2008 installed. Still, I can't understand how to connect to my server:
- I see that the SQL service itself (SQLEXPRESS) is running in both in services.msc and Sql Server Configuration Manager
- I try to connect to it via the Management Studio, but I don't understand what to do.
Where do I begin?
