    Hi Guys

    I work in IT. But have no idea on how to use SQL Server.

    Now i have a SQL Server 2000 disc and would like to install it on my home laptop..It has 2 hard drives. One full of my programs, and the other full of MP3's.

    I dont even know where to start. Can anyone help? I just want to learn how to use it basically. Is there anything i could do with the Server on my laptop???

    any help or advice would be much appreciated. If this has been covered in another thread i appologise, i really am a noob

    Regards

    David

    if you are new to sql server, why bother with 2000?  I would go for 2005 if I were you.  There's a free version called SQL 2005 Express. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345154.aspx

    there's a series of videos here for beginners: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/learning/default.aspx

    what is the difference between sql2000 and sql2005, if update to the latest version in near future, do we have to recreate all jobs and schedulers?

    Lots of differences and really two many to list. SS2K5 is a whole new animal and an upgrade should bring along your jobs.
