Hi All,
I am new to SQL server 2005. I have installed SQL server 2005 which came along with the visual studio 2005 package. Now i could see the visual studio 2005 in the installed programs list.
I really dont know how to configure the the installed SQL server. how to create tables and veiw. frankly speaking i could not see where is the head and tail.

To be straight forward, i havent used any database to a great extent. earlier during the starting of my career, i developed a small application using VC++, which used to interact with the DB server on a very minor scale; whenever i wanted to create a table for used to do it with sql client which was also installed in my machine.

currently i am againg devoloping a small apliccation using VC++, this time for devlopment and testing purposes, I have SQL server 2005 installed in the same machine which i am using for development.
Now as i said eralier i am not even aware how to configure, how to start creating table...... :-(

all i have done is i have installed SQL server 2005 and all i could see is SQL Server 2005 listed in the installed programs list :-(
some one please help me.... :-(

I couldnt even create a DSN

Thanks and Regards
RK

Check sql services in sql configuration manager to ensure sql server is installed, then you can manage it in sql server management studio. You can find how to do what you asked in sql books online.
