| Hi everybody,This is propably very silly question...I've used SQL Server for sometime now, but always through tools supplied by my hosts (my Little Admin, SQL Server Web Admin). I always wanted to try running the real thing, so I've installed SQL Server 2K developer edition on my machine. I also have IIS and .NET framework running.What would be the next step to see those 3 components in action? I have noticed Northwind database in the Enterprise Manager. How do I make the connection? I have the SQL Server Service Manager running fine, but when I open Query Analyzer it comes up with the window "Connect to SQL Server" and this little dropdown, where you can choose the server is actually empty. What do I do?Thank you all for your pointers. |
