SQL Server Question
Hi folks, i'm trying to find an open source app that can accomplish things done by the full version of MS SQL Server. I have a SQL server running on my local machine and need to get access to the data in it. I know nothing about SQL Server or even SQL. So i'm sorry if this question seems silly. Any help in even understanding what i am trying to do would be greatly appriciated.

Re: SQL Server Question
Are you looking for a SQL client?
squirrel-sql on sourceforge
Or a free database server?
mysql.com

Re: SQL Server Question
I think i have a SQL Client. Squirrel, and i have a SQL server running locally, i think it is called MSDE or something. I just dont know how to get the SQl Client to talk to the server.

Cool, I'd never heard of Squirrel. YA, there's a link to their tutorial in the Overview section here:

Re: SQL Server Question
You just need to setup the driver in squirrel, you should already have the Microsoft MSSQL Server JDBC Driver selection, use it and create an 'alias'; point to your local copy of sql server (you can probably use 127.0.0.1 for the name) and add in your username and password. Should be pretty straightforward after that.

Re: SQL Server Question
