Creating a Database

Hi. Im brand new to using SQL. I downloaded the SQL Server 2005 Trial Edition (Enterprise Evaluation Edition) and installed it. How do i create a database ? The only thing i can seem to open is the SQL Server Configuration Manager which just lets me start the Server. Did I install it wrong or open the wrong program? If someone could help I would greatly appreciate it.

you should be able to find the enterprise manager

probably you have downloaded the Express edition or

you failed to set up the database engine and the client tools

|||well how would I install those ?
|||Because neither of those were an option when installing SQL
|||try reinstalling again|||

Snyper

This should get you going....

|||Um, im not using Express. Im using the Trial Version, the 180 day one.
|||Did you install the client tools as well? If you did, you should be able to see Microsoft SQL Server 2005 in your Program Files which contains SQL Server Management Studio|||Yes, i missed it on the first installation. Thanks.

How the hell did you get the trial version to install Enterprise Manager? Why is everything Microsoft so poorly developed
