Creating new local SQL Server - sql-server

I have SQL Server 2014 Management Studio. I'd like to create my own database, but I don't have any local server.
Can you guys help me create a local server?

Run SQL server installation again and while installing it will give you options to install features. Choose Only SQL Server as all other components you already have

SQL-DMO: You must use SQL Server 2005 management tools to connect to this server

Getting an error in SQL Server 2000 Enterprise manager - Please see in the attached screenshot!
Kindly help how to overcome the issue
You have to install the backward compatibility package. You can download it from here.The file is called SQLServer2005_BCxxx.msi
You're trying to access a SQL Server 2005 instance using SQL Server 2000's Enterprise Manager, which isn't possible.
You need to install a copy of SQL Server Management Studio - the 2008 R2Express version should be fine, or you can dig out the 2005 version

Problem with creating .MDF file from Visual Studio 2010

I am trying to create a small wpf application by using mdf.
The problem is that when I am trying to add new service-based database (.mdf) I am getting the error "Connection to SQL Server database files (.mdf) require SQL Server 2005 Express or SQL Server 2008 Express to be installed and running on the local computer. The current version of SQL Server Express can be downloaded at the following url (link)".
The SQL Server 2008 is already been installed.
What am I doing wrong?
Check to make sure the SQLExpress service is running.
From a command prompt:
sc query mssql$sqlexpress
If the state returned is "1 STOPPED", then start the service with
sc start mssql$sqlexpress
Make sure the services are running on your box. The important ones will be SQL Server, and SQL Server Agent.

How to access SQL Server without using SQL Server Management Studio

I have two windows servers X and Y.
And I have SQL Server database on Y. X doesn't have SQL Server Management Studio on it.
How can I access Database on Y from X without using (installing) SQL Server on X.
Thanks for your help
You can use a tool like SQuirrel SQL (free) or Aqua Data Studio.
One can use the sqlcmd utility.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms180944.aspx
You need to install SQL Server Client tools on X. From the installation kit choose only Client conectivity tools. It is impossible to access a SQL server from a non SQL server without having at least the Client tools installed on the non-SQL server. You will be able to connect after installing either from SQL management studio or sqlcmd (cmd-line)
Use Management Studio Express?
You can use sqlwebadmin.codeplex.com to access your SQL server from web.
You can use the SQL Server Management Studio of Database Y to connect to Database X. When you are asked to connect to a Database via the "Connect to Server", change the Server Name to Database X. Enter your credentials and this will connect to the SQL Server on Database X.

Importing a MDF file into SQL Server 2008?

I have inherited a VB.net web app that I'm making some changes on. I'm perfectly capable with the programming side (VB and MSSQL) but I'm getting lost with the tools. I was given a zip file of the code and everything. I opened the sln file in Visual Studio 2005 and it worked fairly easily with little modification.
Running the app works perfectly. Problem is, I need to write some new SPs so need the database admin. SQL Server 2008 Express is installed but it doesn't see any database and I have no idea how to import it.
I have a folder App_Data in the project with the file ASPNETDB.MDF. Opening this in VS gived the error:
This server version is not supported. You must have Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 or later.
Any ideas where to go from here?
You need to get Sql Server Management Studio. From there you should be able to connect to the instance of Sql Server Express running on your system and tell it to attach to the .mdf file. This will allow you to use that database from withing sql server and management studio, and you will be able to add your stored procedure. Just remember to detach again when you're done, or you won't be able to use the mdf file as you expect from your app.
Visual Studio uses SMO 2005 to connec to to SQL. The SMO 2005 will not connect to SQL 2008 by design. You need to either upgrade VS to VS 2008, or downgrade Express to Express 2005.
You can't attach mdf file made in SQL Server 2005 to a SQL Server 2008 instance. What you need is to install SQL Server 2005 Express, attach this file, backup database, then restore it on 2008 Server instance and detach the database. You will get properly created for 2008 Server mdf.
