It may sounds stupid, but I install Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (express edition).
I want to make a new query, but I don’t find the window that make it. As I understood, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 gives me the option to use and write a schema.
Where can I find this option? Thanks
It sounds like you only installed the database engine. You need to install Sql Server Management Studio to do that.
If you’re using a licensed version then it should be a feature you can select when you install the instance.
If you’re using Express then you can find it here:

When you install the express version though, be aware that the installation procedure should be followed as though you are creating a new instance of sql server. It’s very unintuitive and most people naturally think they should be modifying an existing instance when installing management studio express… I personally wasted an hour trying to figure this out long ago.
