Starting MS SQL Server


I just downloaded and installed MS SQL Server 2014 Express on my Win 8.1 machine. Unfortunately I can't figure out, how to run it.
I just need a simple client, where I can run my SQL statements and do some processing with windows-related programming languages.

This is how my folder structure looks like:

I've already read "Start, Stop, Pause, Resume, Restart the Database Engine, SQL Server Agent, or SQL Server Browser Service", but it wasn't what I'm looking for.


Solution

  • Try SQL Server Management Studio Express.

    You can download it here.
