Hi all......well ill try and explain what I dont understand :-(

I am completely new to SQL. I have downloaded SQL Server Express 2005. I guess I need to download another program now like SQL Query Analyaer so that I can query a database - can anyone recommend a free download that will do the job?? I had a play around with one that I downloaded but to be honest, I have no idea on how to get the two programs talking.

Is someone able to guide me through how to initially set up SQl Server and how to get evrything working??

Much appreciated :-)

Gavsta

You can download the CTP of the Express Manager here:

This will include a query-analyzer type tool. You can find a whole bunch of other information about the latest SQL Server software here:
