I did have to restart my computer after installation, not mentioned. I guess that was understood?Īnd now I want in sqlserver managment work with two tables ,one at localdb and other on my main server. Thanks again.īack To Top It shouldn't have required a restart *unless* you were told during installation that a restart would be required (I sometimes see this on the setup dialogs, but not always, and it is not restricted to LocalDB). Direct and to the point with great screen shots and notes.
I tried looking through the MIcrosoft doco but was far too hard for my expertise. This was exactly what I needed to get the SQL Server Managerment Studio working. Thanks for sharing and giving your valuable time. Wednesday, Novem1:25:27 AM - Pargat Singh
For further information on system requirements, please see Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2012.
It will also work on Windows 8 if you're using any of the pre-release versions, but I have not tested this on any of the Server Core variants of Windows Server, so you're on your own there. Supported operating systems are as follows:
Getting Started with SQL Server 2017 Express LocalDB.īefore you get started, you'll want to make sure that your operating system is patched to the latest service pack and current according to Windows Update.
In addition, the download for the SQL Express LocalDB runtime is only about 33 MB (or 27 MB, if you are still on x86), compared to the 100s of MBs required to download a full edition of SQL Server Express. Instead of installing a service and configuring security, they just start up an instance of this new LocalDB runtime as needed. The purpose of this new feature is to provide developers with a local environment that is much easier to install and manage. SQL Server 2012 introduces a new feature, SQL Express LocalDB.
