David,

SQL server only comes with the Enterprise version of VS, which costs much 
more.

You don't need SQL server to get started with Visual Interdev, however.  I 
have built a complete, functional website including a database with the 
Professional version of VS.  This will require a bit more work and some 
familiarity with Access, but it can be done and will work just fine for 
learning or even small applications.

Good luck,
