I have just been on an 5 day ASP.NET course and have got home and
loaded .NET onto my PC.
I want to do some data handling stuff, but I don't have Microsoft SQL.
I thought that .NET installed the northwind database and a cut down SQL
database.
What can I do to start messing without having to buy a full copy of SQL
server?
Thanks
Ian
 
..NET does not come with sql server. Completely separate products.

You can download MSDE, which is free, and is the same engine as sql server.

You can also use Access as a quick and easy database.
