I just installed SQL Server 2008 Express on Windows 7. Now I want to launch the program that will allow me to create database, tables,... through Management Studio. But I don't find any icon after the installation that would help me to do that the Icon a found are just:
SQL Server Installation Center
Server configuration manager
SQL Server Error and usage...
Server Installation Center
Please notice that I'm new in SQL Server and I just want to setup a basic environment in order to make connection to a program.
I recommend taking a look at this link: https://technet.microsoft.com/nb-no/library/ms190699(v=sql.105).aspx
It is a step-by-step guide on how to launch instances of either the default or name server. If you would prefer a video guide, you can check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PJXFcRPKFc

After having installed SQL Server 2012 on my Windows 7 from this link:
[https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=29062][1]
(ENU\x86\SQLEXPR32_x86_ENU.exe)
I downloaded SQL server Management Studio from this link:[1]: https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=29062
(ENU\x86\SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe)
And when i start the installation, after extracting the files, it is asked if i want to allow Sql Server to make changes to my computer, i press yes, and then the SQL Server Installation Center is launched...
I don't understand what to do next, is it a current problem ?
Thank you for your attention.

Using the second link you provided after you press download make sure you select this option:
If you have 32 bits, then simply scroll down you will find the 32 bits exe
I downloaded the file to see what you are seeing.
Choose: New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installation.
This will start the setup and take you to where you can select the features. You need Management Tools - Basic.
There is no Configuration Manager in my apps in the start menu. I've installed SQL Server 2008 R2 on windows 10 64bit but unfortunately i'm not able to find the Configuration Manager App. I need it to use to change the server name of my SQL Server which was localhost before.enter image description here
C:\Windows\system32\SQLServerManager10.msc
By using this link still it is showing the app but it's not opening
By using this SQLSERVERMANAGER10.msc on run command window. The following picture elaboratesenter image description here the issue
Have you checked that the server is effectively running? The is the most common cause.
Launch Administrative Tools\Services and look for SQLSERVER
Also make sure the SQLSERVER Browser process is also running to enable connection discovery by client applications.
I have a very fundamental and basic SQL question. Using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express, how do I create my first Server? For that matter, how would I create it using any other required software tool?
I took a look at Sql Server Configuration Manager and I saw SQLEPRESS running as a SQL Server. But when I added that in to the start up widow for MSSM Studio Express, as the server name, it threw an error saying it cannot be found or does not exist. It seems that this is not the right kind of server.
To connect to the local instance of SQLEXPRESS, you will need localhost as the server name.
This is a fairly comprehensive guide on how to create a database once you have connected. All the steps won't apply to using SQL Express, but the gist of it is there.
In Object Explorer, connect to an instance of the SQL Server Database
Engine and then expand that instance.
Right-click Databases, and then
click New Database. In New Database, enter a database name.
To create
the database by accepting all default values, click OK; otherwise,
continue with the following optional steps.
Based on this comment:
Trying .\SQLEXPRESS in SQL Server Management Studio Express throws an error that says that "This version of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express can only be used to connect to SQL Server 2005 servers". So this is the problem, I think.
.\SQLEXPRESS is the correct server name, but you have the wrong version of client tools (SQL Server Management Studio). To find out the version of SQL you are connecting to, there are a number of suggestions here: https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1140/how-to-tell-what-sql-server-version-you-are-running/
But since you can't connect yet the easiest thing to do is go searching for sqlserver.exe, right click, properties, version. If you have multiple version you need take note of the folder that it's in and check the SQLExpress one. You can also check in services.
Once you've worked out the version, download and install just the management tools for that version.
I am just learn C# from Java and now struggling with sql server
i usually use mysql with phpmyadmin
i use windows 7
i already install Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition, in control panel program and feature there is some name with sql server
i try to search the answer in google for 3 days & download many youtube tutorial. but still confuse what to do.
My goal :
i try to create ms sql database like i do in phpmyadmin
i dont want to create local database, i try to create database in server (the server sit in localhost)
heres what i do :
in visual studio 2013 - server explorer tab, i right click in data
connections
then select Create New Sql Server Database
dialog show up and my question :
What value i must put in Server Name
If i select radio button Use SQL Server Authentication. what value i
must put in username and password. (when installing visual
studio, it don't tell me anything)
thank, forgive my english
EDIT :
i already install management studio from here. At installing, it dont tell me any configuration.
Using SSMS i still can't create database, i already try :
via Windows Authentication with servername : 127.0.0.1 or localhost
via SQL Server Authentication with username : sa, password :
[empty], or Password123, or [myComputerPassword]
i already try uninstall & install Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition & SQL Server 2014 Management Studio multiple time in different PC. But it dont tell me any configuration when installing.
based on my newbie feeling : (maybe) it look like installation don't create instance server
here's my control panel look like :
Unless SQL Server was installed with non-default settings, the following connection parameters should allow you to connect to your (locally installed) SQL Server instance:
Password: chances are that SQL Server was installed with SQL Server authentication disabled. Try to log in with the option Integrated Authentication or Integrated Security enabled, then you won't even have the option to enter a username and password.
Server: try these in the following order:
.\SQLEXPRESS (which stands for "instance named SQLEXPRESS on the local host, .")
. (which stands for "(instance with default name on the) local host")
(localdb)
Basically, the server name consists of up to three parts: First, the network host on which the desired SQL Server service is running (the local host or . in your case), the name of the SQL Server service after a \ (often MSSQLSERVER or SQLSERVER, the first of which you can omit because it's the default name), and a network port on which the SQL Server service is listening (you can often omit that, too).
You can find out your SQL Server's service name from Administrative Tools → Services. Locate the entry for the SQL Server service and note down the name in the parentheses; that's what will go after the .\ in the server name:
You usually get a local or express version of Sql Server installed when you install Visual Studio.
You can however..go a little further.
Sql Server Express 2014 (You may already have this installed based on what you chose during the install)
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/dn434042.aspx
Sql Server 2012 Express
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062
Under the 2012, you'll also note that one of the downloads is
SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe
This is "Sql Server Management Studio". This is a front-end to the Sql Server RDBMS. You could do most things through Visual Studio, but I usually install SSMS as well. SSMS is kinda the same thing as MySql Workbench.
You can also write scripts and execute them in SSMS.
You security mode is probably "Trusted" which means you connect to Sql Server using your windows credentials. This was auto-voodoo'ed mapped for you when you did the install.
Sql Authentication (the alternative to Trusted) is the username/password model. This takes extra setup and configuration (usually through SSMS), so your easiest bet is to rely on "Trusted" unless you find a need for something else.
I hope that helps.
I am very new to data warehouse. I just installed Sql server 2008 R2 developer edition, but when I accessed it, there was no analysis server which is for data warehouse. I also downloaded the Adventure Works DW 2008 database sample, but I did not know where to attach it.
Does anyone know about it?
thank in advance.
Sounds to me like you did not install the full management toolset. By default, the SQL installer only loads the basic tools. The management tool for Analysis Server is included in the complete toolset. Use the following steps to verify and/or install the complete toolset.
Navigate to the Control Panel
Click Programs and Features
Locate Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2
Click Uninstall/Change
In the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 window, click Add
Step through the SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup Wizard
On the Installation Type page, ensure New installation or add shared features is selected.
Continue through the wizard
On the Setup Role page, ensure SQL Server Feature Installation is selected
On the Feature Selection page, make sure the following Shared Features are checked
Management Tools - Basic
Management Tools - Complete
Finish the installation wizard
I had the same issue, and I confirmed all #Brandon steps without success, until I see that I don't had any analysis instance. So I selected (in Feature Selection) in Instance Features\Analysis Services and finish the installation - it works now!
