SQL Server download version for university student
Hi
I just download SQL server express edition which comes out with SQL Server Configuration Managment. I don't know if I download the right version of SQL Server for personal use. I need it to be install for school study and personal learning. The screenshot below doesn't look like a easy use software for sql. I tried to start with insert CSV files. Is anyone knows the instruction of the server?
Thank You

JessicaJL123 Hi Jessica,
you can download either the developer edition or express edition free from the below links
developer https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=866662
express https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=866658
Then you need to download SSMS https://aka.ms/ssmsfullsetup or Azure data Studio (runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux) from that link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/azure-data-studio/download-azure-data-studio?view=sql-server-ver15
based on your computer OS.
and that what you need to connect to the SQL server visually then you can export your CSV file easily.
also, you can use that link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/samples/adventureworks-install-configure?view=sql-server-ver15&tabs=ssms to download a sample database to help you play around with dummy data.
I hope that help,
Thanks
