Hi, I am at the moment fumbling with testing some programs that work with SQL databases.
In order to have an SQL database to test with, I figured that I could use the free MS SQL Server Express. I downloaded and installed it, but find that I cannot get started with it. I need a push or two in the right direction.
I did check on MS website, but there are only some online lectures that I find too generic, and then there is a 135 MB "book" which I find a bit too much.
I just need to be able to send SQL commands and see the result. I dont need to be a certified SQL database expert.
I need a hands-on guide for noobs, and it must be specifically for MS SQL Server 2005 Express.
