Hello,
I'm new to sql server and allways wondering why so many sql server programs are installed in my PC.
As you see in my Windows XP are installed all these sql server programs:

Wouldn't be more practical to have just database and client?
And what would be the interface program to access sql server database?

Thanks

These are different components of SQL server, and different editions like Compact Edition. Having these will not negatively impact your PC's performance unless you are trying to run an instance of SQL Server on your desktop, that can be intense for some older PC's

A number of them come with Services you can shut down if you are not using them.

What all programs you find running?? There are some process related to sql server needed for client connection and some other for applications like SSIS,SSRS,SSAS. You can stop the later processes.
