| I downloaded the free SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to use on my laptop, but when I connect to a server it says "MyName SQL Express" so I'm not sure if I am using SSMS or SQL Express. Which one am I using?Also, which implementation of SQL is used here? Is it Microsoft SQL Server or is it T-SQL (which is a Microsoft version of SQL)? |

| SSMS is just a client app used to connect to a SQL Server. Assuming I understand your question, you should be using SSMS to connect to your local SQLEXPRESS instance (If it is installed).T-SQL is the version of SQL used by SQL Server, so as long as you are connected to a SQL Server, you will be using T-SQL to query it.-Chad |
