I maintain a couple of older sites running SQL Server 2000 and 2005. On my old XP box I was using SQL Server Enterprise Manager to access them.
I'm now on a Windows 7 box. Is that product still available for download/install and will it run on Windows 7? I can't seem to find a download for that specific component.
Or is there an alternative for Windows 7? I tried install SQL Server 2008 Manager Express, but the fails halfway through on Windows 7. I do have XP running in Virtual Box so could get by with Enterprise Manager if I could figure out where to install it from.
Enterprise Manager only supports up to sql server 2000. You can't use it to access sql server 2005. Instead, you need Sql Server Management Studio. You can download the express edition here:

I'm running both management studio and windows 7 just fine.
As for enterprise manager, it was never available for download. You had to install it from the media that came with sql server. Similarly, if you want a non-express edition of management studio you need to install it when running setup for sql server.

Currently I am developing the Node.js web app on my local Mint linux machine, and connect to a local SQL Server 2008 (express) via SQL Server Authentication by using this node module mssql. Everything is fine now.
But now I need to deploy the app to a Red Hat 6.4 (64bit) machine and SQL Server 2008 R2. I was given a Windows Authentication way to access the SQL Server. I can use the Windows Authentication via the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to see the database and create tables. But how I can connect the app on Red Hat to the SQL server via Node.js?
I have installed this MS ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server on the Red Hat server. What should the next move be? or best practise.
I just successfully connected to the SQL Server from Ubuntu 14.04.
I use FreeTDS as the driver, and unxiODBC as the driver manager, node odbc as the Node.js module to connect.
More information can see this link.
But I need to do more research, wondering if I can use the node module mssql to connect. mssql uses tds or tedious as drivers.
I have downloaded and installed SQL Server 2014 Express
(from this site: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/products/sql-server-editions/sql-server-express.aspx#Installation_Options).
The problem is that I can't connect/find my local DB server, and I can't develop DB on my local PC. How can I reach my local server?
My system consists of Windows 8.1 (no Pro or Enterprise editions) 64 bits
Checking the configuration of SQL Server with SQL Server 2014 Configuration Manager tool, I see an empty list selecting "SQL Server Services" from the tree at the left. Below you can find a screenshot.
In the Windows Services list, there is just only one service: "SQL Server VSS Writer"
EDIT
My installation window of SQL Server 2014 is the following:
Most probably, you didn't install any SQL Server Engine service. If no SQL Server engine is installed, no service will appear in the SQL Server Configuration Manager tool. Consider that the packages SQLManagementStudio_Architecture_Language.exe and SQLEXPR_Architecture_Language.exe, available in the Microsoft site contain, respectively only the Management Studio GUI Tools and the SQL Server engine.
If you want to have a full featured SQL Server installation, with the database engine and Management Studio, download the installer file of SQL Server with Advanced Services.
Moreover, to have a sample database in order to perform some local tests, use the Adventure Works database.
Considering the package of SQL Server with Advanced Services, at the beginning at the installation you should see something like this (the screenshot below is about SQL Server 2008 Express, but the feature selection is very similar). The checkbox next to "Database Engine Services" must be checked. In the next steps, you will be able to configure the instance settings and other options.
Execute again the installation process and select the database engine services in the feature selection step. At the end of the installation, you should be able to see the SQL Server services in the SQL Server Configuration Manager.
I downloaded a different installer "SQL Server 2014 Express with Advanced Services" and found Instance Features in it. Thanks for Alberto Solano's answer, it was really helpful.
My first installer was "SQL Server 2014 Express". It installed only SQL Management Studio and tools without Instance features. After installation "SQL Server 2014 Express with Advanced Services" my LocalDB is now alive!!!
I have noticed that after installation of SQL server 2012 express on Windows 10 you must install ENU\x64\SqlLocalDB.MSI from official Microsoft download site. After that, you could run SqlLocalDB.exe.
Just download and install LocalDB 64BIT\SqlLocalDB.msi can also solve this problem. You don't really need to uninstall and reinstall SQL Server 2014 Express with Advanced Services.
Also, if you just installed localDB, you won't see the instance in the configuration manager. You would need to initiate it first, and then connect to it using server name (localdb)\mssqllocaldb.

I faced the same issue. Just download and install the SQL Server suite from the following link :http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=42299
restart your SSMS and you should be able to "Register Local Servers" via right-click on "Local Servers Groups", select "tasks", click "register local servers"
I'm trying to install SQL Server Management Studio 2012 on Windows 8. After installing, I am unable to connect to local server and when I check SQL Configuration Manager, I found out that no sql services is running. I re-installed it many times but still no luck. Why sql services is not running ?
During the install process, check that you actually install the SQL Server Database Engine and not only SQL Server Management Studio. Management Studio is only the client software to access an instance of SQL Server somewhere (locally or on a remote server), while the database engine is actually the server software of SQL Server, hosting actual databases.
I have some basic experience using sql server 2008 R2 (server management studio). I was wondering if the express version can be installed and used on a non server computer (os = MS XP). I have a simple web app that I want to test/practice connecting to the db, and performing simple insert/delete/update commands on a table. Can this be done?
Thank you
Yes, SQL Server Express can be installed on any Windows operating system, including the "client" OSes, except Windows CE of course, but that's something else.
You can use SSMS against SQL Server Express too, although some features of SSMS will be disabled becuase the server doesn't support them.
Yes, it can be done.
Supported operating systems: Windows 7, Windows Server 2003, Windows
Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, Windows XP
Check this:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM - Express
Microsoft does offer SQL express, which probably offers more functionality than you would probably need right now.

Not only would you need MSSQL, you would need to have a current version of IIS installed. Is there a reason you are particularly interested in MSSQL? There are other "package" installations available of PHP/MYSQL which are more simple in setting up such as XAMPP:

Is it possible that can I use Sharepoint server as development machine also. My mananger has asked me to use one of the newly purchased server for Sharepoint server as well as sharepoint development.
In future we will do some small development so what type of installation do I need?
Please guide me for the following which one I should install or which one is not required.
Standalone or Farms
VM
SQL Server 2008
VS 2010
SharePoint 2010 can run on a 64-Bit Windows 7, as per instructions from Microsoft.
It does not work on 32 Bit Windows as SharePoint 2010 is 64-Bit only, and it does not work on Vista.
Yes, it is possible to use your SharePoint server as a development machine. I'd suggest using a VM as it allows you to quickly and easily switch between, revert and deploy setups should something go wrong (and things WILL go wrong with SharePoint).
At work, my machine runs Win Server 2008 and I remote into a Hyper-V hosted VM which itself runs Server 2008 - I develop and run SP on that VM. Since I have SP, SQL Server and VS2010 all running on it at the same time, I allocate the VM at least 5.5 GB of memory (and it's still hungry for more).
You can develop for SharePoint 2010 on a Windows 2008 Server x64 or on a Windows 7 64bit. A Windows 7 is of course only recommended for development.
Most developers use a standalone machine for their SharePoint 2010 development. Creating a farm is complex and $$.
Personally I develop in virtual machines. I have on clean vm image that I copy for every new project (client). You need a powerful computer to run these virtual machines. At least 4GB memory and a recent multicore cpu.
You will need Visual Studio 2010, SQL server and ofcourse SharePoint. Office can also be handy but is not needed. SQl server express is included in Visual Studio and the SharePoint install also installs SQl server if needed. Certain Visual Studio versions include an "SQL server developer" license.
