Default SQL Sever 2005 Express Edition
Hi guys,

I have installed Visual Studio 2005 and also selected SQL Sever Express edition during installation. Now i don't know how to connect to SQL Sever Express. I don't even know if it is any light weight database engine or just an interface from within Visual Studio to connect to an existing SQL Sever database. Please help me about this and i will appreciate any links on the net about its help. thanks

SQL Server Express is a lightweight SQL engine. It dynamically attaches to mdf files so you can specify the files themselves in the connection string (vs. a database name in the full version engines).

How to connect:
