Introduction to Microsoft SQL Server

Because Microsoft SQL Server works as a service to the operating system, in order to use
it, you must make sure its service has started. Sometimes you will have to start the service
and sometimes you will have to stop it. To check it, you can open the Control Panel and
the Administrative Tools. In the Administrative Tools window, open the Services.
Sometimes you will launch Microsoft SQL Server and try to connect but you may receive
an error message stating that the connection could not be established even though you
know that the username is correct. If that happens, check the service and start it.
