| If you have installed ONLY client tools (like management studio) there is no chance. In this case you have to install SQL Server.If you have installed already SQL Server then you can connect to local server - normally the SQL Server Instance is named like your Computer is named. In the connection dialog you can browse for reachable local and/or network servers.WebfredPlanning replaces chance by mistake |
