Hi You have SQL Express installed, so you can use Visual Studio to do this or the command line utility SQLCMD where you can use the normal CREATE DATABASE command. To do it in VS create a database project specifying an existing database server and database, then open the server explorer (CTRL+ALT+S) on the right click on data connection node and you will have an option to create new database. John Besides John's suggestion, you can also download free SQL Server Management Studio Express from MS. This GUI tool makes managing SQL Server database (creating/deleing database, tables...) a lot easier. > Hi, > I've installed a Visual Studio 2008CD and found out that the SQL is [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > * SQL Server Surface Area configuration. > I don't know which option should i use to start creating a new database. |
