If you want a free database, try MSDE, or SQL Server Express[^]. nidhelp wrote: how do i go about creating the database and adding sample data to the database? Buy a book on SQL, or download the documentation and samples and look through them. nidhelp wrote: after that is done i also want to retrieve data from database to my form as well as to update data from my form to database... Again, look through the samples first, read the books online ( assuming they come with Express Ed. ), etc. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

I've downloaded microsoft sql 2005 server express. I've also spent the past few hours looking for step-to-step guide to start using and creating a database. However, up till now I still have no idea how to start using this sql server express. Im wondering, is visual studio .net 2003 compatible with microsoft sql 2005 server express? This is because I only see Deep Integration with Visual Studio 2005 titles/headings associated with microsoft sql 2005 server express. I would like to know what are the different database systems available that can be used with visual studio . net 2003 (yes, not 2005).. Thanks!
