[@muhasawa]

Thanks, mann! You deserve a subscribe and like for me. I just wasted about 1 hour yesterday trying to figure out why no servers showing. You just kept the video to the point and so easy. I'm a complete beginner in DBMS and coz of the my course, I am told to use Microsoft SQL for practicing SQL language. Didn't get any guidance from the teachers on how to install this.

[@bharathkumar2184]

@@sohailusmani6654 can you please let me know difference between developed and express edition,? Is developer version is good for practise..? can you send me SQL database files for pratice

[@sohailusmani6654]

@@bharathkumar2184
SQL Server express edition:-
SQL Server Developer edition lets developers build any kind of application on top of SQL Server.
It includes all the functionality of Enterprise edition, but is licensed for use as a development and test system, not as a production server.
SQL Server Developer is an ideal choice for people who build and test applications.
SQL Server developer edition:-
Express edition is the entry-level, free database.
It is ideal for learning and building desktop and small server data-driven applications.
It is the best choice for independent software vendors, developers, and hobbyists building client applications.
If you need more advanced database features, SQL Server Express can be seamlessly upgraded to other higher end versions of SQL Server.
Recommanded for learning - Express
