When you install the SQL Server Database Engine, the tools that are installed depend upon the edition and your setup choices. This lesson reviews the principal tools, and shows you how to connect and perform a basic function (authorizing more users).
This lesson contains the following tasks:
Tools For Getting Started
Jul 16, 2019 Is how to install Microsoft SQL Server specifically the developer version what the SQL Server Management Studio or SSMS environment looks like. We’ll see how to use some of important shortcuts. In a SSMS, how to create a data is using SSMS shortcuts functionality as well as writing SQL Also discuss how to create a sample database that is used.
- The SQL Server Database Engine ships with a variety of tools. This topic describes the first tools you will need, and helps you select the right tool for the job. All tools can be accessed from the Start menu. Some tools, such as SQL Server Management Studio, are not installed by default. You must select the tools as part of the client components during setup. For a complete description of the tools described below, search for them in SQL Server Books Online. SQL Server Express contains only a subset of the tools.
Basic Tools
SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is the principal tool for administering the Database Engine and writing Transact-SQL code. It is hosted in the Visual Studio shell. SSMS is available as a free download from Microsoft Download Center. The latest version can be used with older versions of the Database Engine.
SQL Server Configuration Manager installs with both SQL Server and the client tools. It lets you enable server protocols, configure protocol options such as TCP ports, configure server services to start automatically, and configure client computers to connect in your preferred manner. This tool configures the more advanced connectivity elements but does not enable features.
Sample Database
The sample databases and samples are not included with SQL Server. Most of the examples that are described in SQL Server Books Online use the AdventureWorks2012 sample database.
To start SQL Server Management Studio
- On current versions of Windows, on the Start page, type SSMS, and then click Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
- When using older versions of Windows, on the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server, and then click SQL Server Management Studio.
To start SQL Server Configuration Manager
- On current versions of Windows, on the Start page, type Configuration Manager, and then click SQL Server version Configuration Manager.
- When using older versions of Windows, on the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Connecting with Management Studio
- It is easy to connect to the Database Engine from tools that are running on the same computer if you know the name of the instance, and if you are connecting as a member of the local Administrators group on the computer. The following procedures must be performed on the same computer that hosts SQL Server.

Note
This topic discusses connecting to an on-premises SQL Server. To connect to Azure SQL Database, see Connect to SQL Database with SQL Server Management Studio and execute a sample T-SQL query.
To determine the name of the instance of the Database Engine
- Log into Windows as a member of the Administrators group, and open Management Studio.
- In the Connect to Server dialog box, click Cancel.
- If Registered Servers is not displayed, on the View menu, click Registered Servers.
- With Database Engine selected on the Registered Servers toolbar, expand Database Engine, right-click Local Server Groups, point to Tasks, and then click Register Local Servers. Expand Local Server Groups to see all the instances of the Database Engine installed on the computer displayed. The default instance is unnamed and is shown as the computer name. A named instance displays as the computer name followed by a backward slash () and then the name of the instance. For SQL Server Express, the instance is named <computer_name>sqlexpress unless the name was changed during setup.
To verify that the Database Engine is running
In Registered Servers, if the name of your instance of SQL Server has a green dot with a white arrow next to the name, the Database Engine is running and no further action is necessary.
If the name of your instance of SQL Server has a red dot with a white square next to the name, the Database Engine is stopped. Right-click the name of the Database Engine, click Service Control, and then click Start. After a confirmation dialog box, the Database Engine should start and the circle should turn green with a white arrow.
To connect to the Database Engine
At least one administrator account was selected when SQL Server was being installed. Perform the following step while logged into Windows as an administrator.
- In Management Studio, on the File menu, click Connect Object Explorer.
- The Connect to Server dialog box opens. The Server type box displays the type of component that was last used.
- Select Database Engine.
- In the Server name box, type the name of the instance of the Database Engine. For the default instance of SQL Server, the server name is the computer name. For a named instance of SQL Server, the server name is the <computer_name><instance_name>, such as ACCTG_SRVRSQLEXPRESS. The following screenshot shows connecting to the default (un-named) instance of SQL Server on a computer named 'PracticeComputer'. The user logged into Windows is Mary from the Contoso domain. When using Windows Authentication you cannot change the user name.
- Click Connect.
Note
This tutorial assumes you are new to SQL Server and have no special problems connecting. This should be sufficient for most people and this keeps this tutorial simple. For detailed troubleshooting steps, see Troubleshooting Connecting to the SQL Server Database Engine.
Authorizing Additional Connections

Now that you have connected to SQL Server as an administrator, one of your first tasks is to authorize other users to connect. You do this by creating a login and authorizing that login to access a database as a user. Logins can be either Windows Authentication logins, which use credentials from Windows, or SQL Server Authentication logins, which store the authentication information in SQL Server and are independent of your Windows credentials. Use Windows Authentication whenever possible.
Tip
Most organizations have domain users and will use Windows Authentication. You can experiment on your own, by creating additional local users on your computer. Local users will be authenticated by your computer, so the domain is the computer name. For example if your computer is named MyComputer and you create a user named Test, then the Windows description of the user is MycomputerTest.
Create a Windows Authentication login
In the previous task, you connected to the Database Engine using Management Studio. In Object Explorer, expand your server instance, expand Security, right-click Logins, and then click New Login. The Login - New dialog box appears.
On the General page, in the Login name box, type a Windows login in the format:
<domain><login>
- In the Default database box, select AdventureWorks2012 if available. Otherwise select master.
- On the Server Roles page, if the new login is to be an administrator, click sysadmin, otherwise leave this blank.
- On the User Mapping page, select Map for the AdventureWorks2012 database if it is available. Otherwise select master. Note that the User box is populated with the login. When closed, the dialog box will create this user in the database.
- In the Default Schema box, type dbo to map the login to the database owner schema.
- Accept the default settings for the Securables and Status boxes and click OK to create the login.
Important
This is basic information to get you started. SQL Server provides a rich security environment, and security is obviously an important aspect of database operations.

At Parallels, we love sharing our customers’ success stories! Recently, Tim Goldstein, a leading business intelligence analyst, database architect, and senior developer specializing in the Microsoft SQL server tool set, implemented a more agile development process with Parallels Desktop for Mac. Goldstein’s new process has been a great success and proven Parallels Desktop to be a developer’s “Swiss Army Knife” of productivity! Below are a few quotes from Goldstein himself regarding how Parallels Desktop has helped him stay ahead of the competitive landscape in his personal business:
“Parallels allows me to run a full development environment on Windows, including SQL Server, Analysis Services Server, Visual Studio, and SQL Management console simultaneously with El Capitan. I am running this on an 11-inch MacBook Air with 8 GB of RAM and a two-core i7 processor.”
Not only is the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio a crucial weapon in a developer’s tool kit but Goldstein leverages success by additionally using Microsoft Visual Studio, CorelDRAW, and Notepad++.
Above: “Windows 10 running Microsoft SQL Server, SQL Management Studio (SSMS), SQL Data Tools (a.k.a. Visual Studio) with an SSIS package, and working on an infographic for my speaking/training topic of “Engaging Technical Workers, Getting Business and Technical Staff Communicating” in CorelDRAW.”
Goldstein has additionally leveraged Parallels Desktop to save money for his business. He’s achieved this by not having to own multiple computers to complete his work as a senior developer. Thanks to his love of technology and the people who have helped him have such a great IT career, Goldstein, a Certified High Performance Coach, is simultaneously speaking, training, and mentoring executives on how to understand the mind of the technical worker. He can help you reach your next level just like Parallels Desktop has helped him reach his! In his own words:
“For my personal business in training executives to understand their technical workforce and training geeks to better handle the soft side of interviews, I work entirely on a Mac. Parallels has been a wonderful solution and a much easier company culture to deal with than competitors.”
