Customer Reviews

Excellent Start Point
An excellent little book to get started with SQL Server Express. It comes with the software and takes you through pretty much everything you need to get going. However, note that you still have to download the SQL Server Management Studio Express from Microsoft before you can really do anything and the book's download and install instructions appear out of date. So if you can get it running yourself then the rest of the book is fine.
