Hi
Kalec
Kalec
thank you for the help!
Dave Rook
Dave Rook
Right, this will save the comments box
No worries - when I started .NET, i found the entire thing very difficult
and I know how much better it is when some one helps just a bit
Kalec
Kalec
but I don't understand, you provided a link for SQL Server® 2012 Express. I do have 2008 express. What I need is
SQL Server Management Studio (I think)
Dave Rook
Dave Rook
Hold on
microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=7593
That should do it

Honestly when I started this year I was more worried about Operating Systems with pipes, mailslots, threads, and what not. Yet this aspect of databases kinda boggled my mind
Dave Rook
Dave Rook
And to be honest, until you start using it daily, it will remain difficult, plus, by the time you learn it, it's out of date...Although this is part of the fun :)
Kalec
Kalec
Oh, I am very aware of this. It doesn't bother me, IF I get to this for a living. But as a simple course, it's a bit annoying.
Dave Rook
Dave Rook
what course? And did you download the program yet (link sent above)
Kalec
Kalec
Half done. I have a database course. I think it's either a one year course or one year and a half. But I am not sure
Half done (now 3/4) meant the download *
Dave Rook
Dave Rook
Cool, I'm here for another 10 minutes, let me know if you get stuck during download

Ok, starting the install
Dave Rook
Dave Rook
Cool
Kalec
Kalec
Now I'm at the SQL Server
Installation center
not sure what to do
Dave Rook
Dave Rook
OK. On the left side there should be an option to install or modify existing installation?
Kalec
Kalec
I have an installation category
But
Dave Rook
Dave Rook
yup
Kalec
Kalec
15:53
all I see is: SQL server stand alone (I already installed that I think)
Dave Rook
Dave Rook
That's it
Click on it
Kalec
Kalec
failover cluster
Dave Rook
Dave Rook
let's see if we can modify it
Kalec
Kalec
ok ok
Dave Rook
Dave Rook
no, the first one; stand alone is correct. I don't know about clusters
Kalec
Kalec
15:54
ok clicked on the first one, I'm kinda sure it's just SQL Server 2008. One sec
Yeah it seems to be SQL Server only
Dave Rook
Dave Rook
yes, but as you go through, there should be an option to install it, about half way through
Kalec
Kalec
ok
Dave Rook
Dave Rook
if not, then we need to do this via control panel - go to add remove (program and features) and select modify and you may get the option there
Kalec
Kalec
I think I found it, one sec
Dave Rook
Dave Rook
Cool

Kalec

Ok, I need to uninstall and start over. The option is grayed out but I'm 100% sure it wasn't last time. Thank you!
Dave Rook
Dave Rook
No worries. I think starting from start is best too.
but, hold on
microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=26729
This shows you the 3 different versions with a description underneath
IMO one of the top 2 is what you want (32bit or 64bit)
Although that link may be the same one!
Kalec
Kalec
Ok, I think this should be enough, again: thank you!
I already have it, that was the first thing I downloaded
Dave Rook
Dave Rook
Cool
Well, I hope this works, if not, post another question but I have to go. Bye
Kalec
Kalec
Bye Bye
