I'm starting to learn SQL, and want to install a SQL Server.
I have multiple programs of SQL Server installed (I guess they were installed as part of my Visual Studio installation):
Continued:
Here's C:\Program Files
(first folder is ~490MB, second is ~10MB):
And here's C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server
and its sub-directories:
However, I see no SQL Server program on Start->All Programs, I can't find SQL Server Configuration Manager, and the commands SQLCMD -L
or OSQL -L
aren't recognised.
So, do I have an SQL Server, and if not, what are all those programs I see in Programs and Features?
EDIT: As a beginner, from a learning point of view, what will the installed programs allow me, and what not? From the "Programmbility" table on this (rather old) link, I understand LocalDB almost compares to Express and will have what I need. Is that correct?
