I know this is a silly questions but I'm new at this and going at it alone. I'm running Windows 7 and I installed SQL Server Express 2012 with SQL Server Management Studio. I don't know how to setup the server to connect to it. All things point to connecting to a server. What server? I want to have a local one on the workstation. How do I create that? I also tried to access the services via the SQL Server Configuration Manager and there are none listed. When I click on SQL Server Services, it clearly states, "there are no items to show in this view."
What am I missing?
Thanks, Shawn
