Beginners

I have just started learning SQL server. Where from I start. I have downloaded SQL Management Studio & SQL Express Edition.

Now What should I do now ?

hi,

hard to say...

at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=be6a2c5d-00df-4220-b133-29c1e0b6585f&DisplayLang=en you can find the downloadable version of Books OnLine, the on line help for SQL Server... it both contains "insides" about the engine and architecture, as SQL dialect tutorials as well.. it really is a valuable (the best) source of information about SQL Server..

but perhaps the understanding of what a DBMS is, is not included as these are "pre-requisites" to all the fun..

so here all depends on your actual skill and knowledge.. perhaps you need a beginners book about database, perhaps you require something more, like a real inside about what DBMS are and what are they fore, as long as the whole theory above them, or perhaps you just need to understand the differences about, say, Oracle and SQL Server as you already are familiar with the big picture..

regards
