SQL Server 2005 Video Tutorial – 1 – Installing

This programming video tutorial series will show will show you how to install SQL Server 2005 Express and SQL Server Management Studio. SQL Server provides you with a "window" to connect to your databases. You use the "SQL (Structured Query Language) Language" to reach through the window to "touch" and "manipulate" the databases.

The express version of SQL Server is totally free. It allows you create and update tables on your own computer or update tables on a remote web server. The standard Edition (not the Express) allows you to directly create and administer your tables on a remote web server, but the Express version only allows updating on remote web servers.

In this first video, we will look at how to install SQL ServerExpress Edition 2005. Please click on the heading for the tutorial if you want to view it in full-screen mode.

By far, the best hosting company that I have found for .NET applications is Discountasp.net. Discountasp.net provides many SQL tools that make it easy to remotely manage your sql database directly from your computer that other hosting companies like GoDaddy do not.
