Hey,
I just got SQL Express. I am trying to start up a clan management database. My question is "How?" I do not know my way around SQL server, the features, and how to even create and manage a database. I would like some extreme help on this. I have 2 computers that will be my server. One will be a web interface, and the other will hold all the databases. I just don't know where to start in SQL Server. Some help will be greatly appreciated.

Start with the SQL tutorials, they were likely installed with the SQL Express instance.

You can read the SQL Books Online for the best info about SQL. the BOL came with the install, or I should say... should have been installed. If you are wanting to learn SQL Server. There is an aweful lot to learn. I have been working with databases for almost 3 decades, and I learn something new almost everyday.
If you want to learn how to create a new database. Or design a database, or admin a database and a server, the SQL Books Online is something that you need to read. It is not like a book, but more like reference material. You use it to find out how to configure the database, the syntax of the language, or some best practices, plus lots of other things. If you did not install the BOL, install them. When you install SQL Server, install everything the first time, you can always turn off the services, but you may not get another chance to bounce the server for a long while.
