Microsoft SQL 2008

[Ivan2009]

How can I go about building a database for say, a toy company? Using the microsoft SQL 2008? I know SQL commands whcih Ihave used to retrieve data using VB script from an already built website. But I want to build my own DB and then connect it to my .NET framework.

Well one way to start would be by building ER diagrams.

Yeah Henry, that would be a good start. But then, how do I start up SQL 2008 and how do I get the Microsoft SQL editor? I mean, i see a downloaded link that says SQL 2008 on my desktop after I installed Visual Developer. But, I am unanle to figure out where do i go from there to build my DB??

Buy a book on SQL, your question is unanswerable in a forum, you are asking someone to teach you how to build a database, this can take years to perfect and certainly weeks/months to get the basics.
