Hi - I installed MS SQL SMSE 2005 just to begin my studies.
Can anyone tell me what the following instances should be?
Server name: Authentication:
I tried entering; (pc_name)\sqlexpress, however it gives me an error message. "A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to sql server... (Microsoft server error: 2)
No DB was imported. is this the problem? Is there any link/site where I can learn about this?
And, all the best to you in your efforts to learn SQL. You will find that this forum is a great resource, especially when you get stuck and feel like hitting your head against a wall.
Start with this and see if that works:
Server name: (local) Authentication: Windows Authentication
Note: You should include the brackets in the server name --> (local)
