| I am very interested in learning to create databases with SQL. For the past 5 years I have used MS Access, but I wish to upgrade.I am having issues of where to start, I know there is an Express version available for download, can someone point me to the correct url?Also, can I load the Express version on my home computer rather than a server and run as a stand alone program such as MS Access?Please forgive me if these questions have been answered and seem lame, I just need guidance.I also have a full version of Visual Studio 2008 Pro which has SQL database as well, would it be advisable to load this instead?Thanks=======================James NivenAustin, Texas======================= |
