Installation of SQL Server:
Installing SQL Server 2014 Express Edition
To install Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Express Edition, follow these steps:
Run the setup file through the administrative account. The Microsoft SQL Server 2014
Installation Center will begin.
1. Select the “New Installation” Feature.
Lab Instructor: Engr. Shahid Ali Bhutta MS SQL SERVER 2014 INSTLLATION & OPERATION
2. In this Feature Selection Wizard Select all of the features and click the Next button.
3. In this Instance Configuration select the Default Instance option and click Next button.
4. Click Next.
5. In this Database Engine Configuration select the Windows Authentication Mode and
click Next button.
6. Installation will progress and setup will complete installation automatically. Just wait and
watch.
7. From the Setup Complete window, click Close.
Now go to the Start menu and Search SQL Server Management Studio. A new window will be
opened. Connect to the server.
Now place the following sample code in the query window, run it and see the output:
SELECT getdate(); -- Selects the current (server) date and time.
On the left side you will see databases named master etc.
On clicking any of the database, you’ll see default tables in that database. You can also right
click on any of the table and select ‘return all rows’ to see the entire values in the table.
But you have to create your own database with your own name.
Run the following query by pressing F5 key:
CREATE DATABASE WXYZ; -- Creates a database named WXYZ;
Remember…!! SQL is not case sensitive.
Are you able to see the database created…???
If no, then refresh the services again…!!
Now create the table in the above created database using the CREATE TABLE command:
Syntax:
CREATE
TABLE table_name (
column_name1 data_type(size),
column_name2 data_type(size),
column_name3 data_type(size),
....
Lab Instructor: Engr. Shahid Ali Bhutta MS SQL SERVER 2014 INSTLLATION & OPERATION
); --// CREATE TABLE is the keyword.
Suppose if you want to create the following table:
Name Reg_No Courses Course_Code Offered_By
You’ll have to run the following query:
CREATE TABLE Student
(
Name varchar(255),
Reg_No varchar(255),
Courses varchar(255),
Course_Code int,
Offered_by varchar(255)
);
Run the query and see the results.
Was the table created named STUDENT….???
Inorder to verify the results run the following query:
SELECT *
FROM Student;
Was the table displayed…???
