Thank you.
I just found a link (may be to the same version but w/o other useful
info) at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/
I have a question about downloading and installing it. At a link via
that site (now I could find the exact link), it says to uninstall
Visual Studio.Net 2005 express version or something like that before
installing SqlSever. I have recently installed VS.Net 2003, the
academic version I bought via my college. I was in VB.Ne c lass and so
got it for like $20. Will I need to uninstall it inorder to isntall the
SqlServer Express 2005?
Also via the link you gave, at the link of
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143441.aspx is a link to
"Before You Install SQL Server Express". There, (at
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143365(SQL.90).aspx), it
says
- Uninstall .NET Framework 1.2 and later versions from your computer
(versions 1.0 and 1.1 do not have to be uninstalled). Then, install
..NET Framework 2.0. from .NET Framework 2.0 Download Center.
- Install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition from the SQL Server Express
Web site.
>From what I checked, what i currently have is Microsoft .NET Framework
SDK v1.1.
I think the frame work for Visual Studio 2005 is 1.2, am I right? So I
won't need uninstall Visual Studio 2003 in order to install this
SqlServer Express 2005, right?
A second question:
Should I learn PL/SQL using MS SqlServer or Oracle? My immediate goal
is to find an entry level work and I am wodnering what enviornment is
more pravalently used for the entry level work.
Thanks in advance.
