Introduction

SQL Server Overview
You or may not have various opinions about SQL Server and other database systems, but you can be confident that SQL Server has many of the advanced features available in relational database management systems, and that SQL Server is widely used worldwide. SQL Server supports many of the ANSI/ISO SQL standards, so when you learn SQL Server you are mainly close to the portable standards. SQL Server, developed by Microsoft, runs on Windows platforms, and on Linux as well. SQL Server is scalable, and supports both clustering and cloud computing through Azure to surpass the performance and reliability of any single platform. SQL Server is an in-demand, capable database system.

A few additional detailed explanations:
c.SQL Server Agent is used for running scheduled jobs, such as backups, scheduled SQL scripts and db maintenance. If this was a production environment you would want this service set to automatic.

d.You will need SQL Server Database Engine to run SQL Server. Since DBMS uses a lot of system recourses, we would recommend running it manually when you need it. e.If you installed other components for SQL Server for advanced topics, you should also set them to manual so that they don’t run on system startup.

•IMPORTANT: Make sure to add users (such as your account) to SQL Server Administrators (click on Add Current User) if it is not already there.

different parts of the DBMS go. For example, in production environments the LOG components should go on a separate disk array, which will improve performance of the system.

Creating a Database
You are almost ready to begin working on assignments, but one more step is needed: creating a database.

Now to be sure, there is already a default database called “master”, but it is perilous to use that database for anything of substance. Master is a system database which contains information about the server’s configuration; that database is critical to the operation of SQL Server itself, and if it gets corrupted, or runs out of space, the entire SQL Server instance is at risk. System databases are often located on drives with limited space, and if we need to fail over our instance to another instance, we cannot usually restore the master itself since each instance has its own configuration. Suffice it to say, for assignments it is prudent to create another database.
