Unfortunately for me, I am not a DBA - even though I have always filled that role where ever I have been. That being said, I have always been fortunate enough to have someone else more knowledgeable than I to perform the initial build of the SQL Servers I have used and managed. So, I have the following question...

I just finished installing and configuring a new dedicated SQL Server (it is nice too). One of the included discs it he MSDN Library. Do I need to install that too? Is there any reason to or not to install it? I would appreciate any feedback.

That is what I am referring to.

Sounds you installed sql2k5 express with VS. MSDN Library is not part of sql installation.

MSDN Library is typically for a developer's machine and not the actual database server.

That's what I thought. I just wanted to be sure and get opinions. Sometimes there are opinions about such things that might not be immediately apparent.
