Hi,

I'm currently working on a project "Restaurant Management System", an application that will help managing the retail business in restaurants, which includes billing, inventory management, sales and reports. Now I've all the data ready and just don't understand how to establish a connection with MS SQL Server 2008.

I'd be thankful if anyone let me know the process on how to establish a connection with MS SQL Server 2008??

Thanks,

That is a pretty broad question. There are many ways to establish a connection to SQL Server. Are you developing an app, and want to know how to connect? If so, depends on the platform you are using (.Net/Java etc..).

Are you just trying to connect via management studio? or something else all together?

One way is to use ADO.NET

Yep, I would suggest ADO.Net, SQLConnection Object.
