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
