Video: Creating Our First Database - Three Techniques

  • ·Skill level: 100 (Beginner)
  • ·Run Time: 12:05
  • ·Instructor: Scott Whigham

Description:

Can you name three ways to create a SQL Server database? Depending on how comfortable you are with Transact-SQL, you might prefer the CREATE DATABASE statement. If T-SQL isn't your specialty, then you likely prefer the Enterprise Manager (which provides two options for creating a database). This video will show you all three techniques and give you the pros and cons of each. By the way, can you name a fourth way to create databases in SQL Server 2000 that doesn't involve writing T-SQL or using Enterprise Manager? In fact, you don't need to use any of the SQL Server tools to create a database. Give up? You can use SQL-DMO in SQL Server 2000 to create a database using any COM-compliant programming language
