Does anybody here know and/or use SQL Server?

Most of the resources out there on client/server database either exist for MySQL or at levels way over my head. I have a few (very) basic questions I need to ask before diving into it.

Many thanks  
Karen

Hi ColdFusion,

Thanks for responding.

I’m an old hand at Access and relational design, and can make my way around SQL. My host provider offers a 50MB SQL Server database as part of the web package, but I don’t own SQL Server myself (a little dear for my pocketbook at the moment.)

At any rate, the database management tools suggested by all the resources I’ve been able to locate seem to come bundled with SQL Server (i.e. Enterprise Manager, Query Analyzer etc.) So my question is the most basic of them all: What can I be using as an interface?

ODBC and ADO are at the very periphery of my understanding, but I’ll go there if that’s the answer. I just need a pointer in the right direction for further research and/or some guidance to good resouces or books for study.

Thanks again!  
Karen
