Video Transcript

"Hi, my name's Dave Andrews. Today I'm going to show you how to create a new data base in SQL Server. Let's begin by clicking on the start button. Go into all programs. Let's find Microsoft SQL Server. And just click on the management studio. This opens up the SQL Server management studio. Now the very first thing it's going to do is ask you what server you want to connect to. I'm going to connect to a local server using Windows authentication, say connect. Now on the left side of the bar you can see that we have data bases. Just expand the data bases and you'll see the data base is already on the system. To create a new data base, right click on data bases and say new data base. We're going to give our data base a name. I'm just going to call it my data base. I'm going to click add. Or rather o.k. down at the very very bottom. As you can see that has added a data base called my data base to which we can add tables and views. My name is Dave Andrews and I've just showed you how to create a new data base in Microsoft SQL Server."
