Can anyone recommend a good, complete tutorial for a newbie on how to install SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Services, including SQL Full-test Filter Daemon Launcher?

And while we’re on the subject, can anyone recommend a good, complete textbook on SQL Server 2008?

Thanks for any help anyone can give.

This is a good place to start:

I like books by Ben-Gan (one of my SQL genius friends introduced this author to me):
Inside Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008: T-SQL Programming: T-SQL Programming (Pro-Developer) by
Ben-Gan, Itzik; Dejan Sarka; Roger Wolter; Greg Low; Ed Katibah; Isaac Kunen
There are more books by Ben-Gan if you are interested.

Hi, MuMu88 -

I greatly appreciate you replying to my request for information. But just for your information, the second link you provided, the YouTube one, has a problem. When you try to close the tab you've opened it in in your browser, it not immediately reopens itself, it actually reopens multiple copies of itself. It just doesn't want to "go away". Just to let you know.
