I want to start working with databases using the .NET framework.
- From where can I download free Microsoft SQL?
- Is there any tutorial for how to build and config a db and how to declare on tables and such
I got all the thoracic knowledge and i know the SQL Lang but i have never build db from scratch or used SQL queries using c# so this is my main problem i have been looking for guidance for at least a week but nothing truly explain the basics i know SQL!!! my problems are:
- in which software, program to produce the DB?
- how to connect to the DB using visual studio 2010?
to all of you thank you so much for helping me it means a lot 🙂
You probably want to start by downloading SQL Server Express, then read an Overview of ADO.NET
You’ll want to use SQL Management Studio to manage your database, create tables, etc. The most straightforward way to run a query (without any ORM, etc) from .NET would be to use a SqlConnection and SqlCommand to execute a query. That should get you started.
