How to run SQL Server engine installed through Visual Studio? - sql-server

I don't have any SQL Server already installed on my machine. I downloaded and installed Visual Studio Enterprise 2022 with "ASP.Net", ".Net desktop development", "Data Storage and tools" and "Azure Development" package considering that SQL Server gets installed along with one of the above packages. After the installation completes I can see in installed programs in Control Panel that "Microsoft SQL Server 2019" got installed.
But when I go to Task Manager I don't see any SQL Server running or suspended there? How do I run SQL Server (if it ever got installed?) Is this sql server local db I am seeing is different than what SQL Server is? I have been through number of posts but none of them seem to help. Any pointers here are hugely appreciated.

SQL Browser Was Not Installed with SQL Developer 2019

I installed SQL Server Developer 2019. When I try to connect to SSAS I get error message "ensure that SQL Browser service is running". When looking for that service in Windows Services I don't see it listed. I also don't see it listed under the SQL Server Configuration Manager. When I installed it I selected all features except those related to Machine learning and R (which I don't need at all and just complicates the set up in my opinion).
Any ideas of why SQL Browser wasn't installed and how to get it installed now?

Why there are two instances of SQL Server Management Studio and SQL Server 2017 Express?

I have recently installed SSMS 17 and SQL Server from this link: SSM Studio,
and I also installed SQL Server Express from the official site.
As on SSMS download page there are two downloads available SSM Studio 17.6 and 17.6 upgraded packages so I installed both. And now I am confused a bit because in SSMS I see two database engines SQLEXPRESS and SQLEXPRESS01 although it only connects to RAO-HAMMAS-PC as you can see here in the screenshot:
Also I see two instances of SSMS 17.6 in programs and features window - see this screenshot
and both have same version but different size. Please help me if I have duplicate installed SSMS ?
And just one more thing SQL Server keeps running in background even if I am not using it. So can I stop it somehow? And only use it when I am developing?

SSIS on SQL Server 2017 Developer edition

I'm new to SSIS. I developed an SSIS package in VS2017 and trying to deploy on my local SQL Server Db. I installed SQL Server 2017 developer edition. When I'm trying to connect to SSIS on my local machine it runs into error:
Error:
"The specified service does not exist as an installed service".
I want to ask, whether this service is available in developer edition?
SSIS is available as part of the Sql Server 2017 Developer Edition.
Source: See SQL Server 2017 Developer Edition Datasheet.
Is it possible that you didn't select SSIS when you installed the Developer Edition?
Try running the Installer again from Add Remove Programs and see if SSIS appears in the allowable installations with a checkbox in front of it.
The "SSIS Service" is legacy. Don't use it.
SSIS packages from about SQL 2014 onwards are instead stored inside the 'SSIS Catalog'
To access this:
Connect to the SQL Server object explorer (using server type: database engine)
In the object explorer, look under the "Integration Services Catalogs" folder. You may actually have to create the SSISDB catalog at this point
There's a screenshot here

MS need to improve their documentation.

How to get GUI on SQL Server 2012

I have installed a Evaluation 180 days version of SQL Server 2012 from the official website of Microsoft, on a Windows Server 2012 R2 (with gui). At the end of the installation in the Installation center, everything passed and succedeed but when I quit the program, I don't have any way to execute SQL Server from a graphical interface. I can see MS instances created, services running but how can I get a GUI to work with SQL Server?
With the newer version of SQL Servers, the SQL Server Management Studio (the GUI) is a separate install and you will need to install it separately to the database engine installation (which is what you have done). You can download SSMS from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062. The page contains a lot of different download components, make sure you check the appropriate install and click download.
ENU\x64\SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe if you want the 64bit installation of SQL Management Studio
ENU\x86\SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe for the 32bit version.
you Need to Install SSMS
SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is a tool to manage and administer SQL Server and SQL Database.
SSMS is offered free of charge by Microsoft.

Installing SQL Management Studio

I have installed SQL Server with Microsoft Visual Studio and now I need to use SQL Server Management Studio and there is no such application in the Start menu. It just has Import and Export Data and SQL Server Configuration Manager. What do I do next?
when i tried to install the sql server 2008 from the given link by MrKow it gives the following error
TITLE: SQL Server Setup failure.
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created..
BUTTONS:
OK
so now help what to do next ??
It is a different download and not part of Visual Studio.
It is part of SQL Server and can be found on the install media (CD/DVD) - you can also download the express edition for free, SSMS 2005 here and SSMS 2008 here.
By default, the SQL Server installation does not install the client tools, including SQL Server Management Studio. You can relaunch the SQL Server installation and add the client tools.
You can download the Express edition of SSMS here.
Put the SQL Server CD Rom in the drive and follow the step.
When you see the screen : "Feature selection" under "Shared Features" choose "Management Tools - Basic" and "Management Tools - Complete"
Leave the rest unchecked as you already installed the database.
