Administer SQL Server 2005 Express Edition

SQL Server Express is a free, easy-to-use, simple-to-manage database without many of the features of the full-blown SQL Server, but powerful and flexible enough to meet the needs of low-end server users such as small businesses, non-professional developers building Web applications, and hobbyists building client applications. Master the basics of SQL Server Express in this sample chapter from Mastering Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. Coverage includes how to get up and running quickly, how to use the interface to administer data and services as well as to keep track of what's happening on your server, and how to handle typical everyday tasks of keeping your data safe, secure, and available to your users.
