Basic Tutorial
• Create database
– From the Object Explorer, right click on
the Databases folder and select New database
– Before we can add data to our database, we'll need
to create at least one table.
• Create Table (first with GUI)
– From the correct database right click on the Tables icon
and select Table...
– complete the details in the Column Name column,
the Data Type column, and Allow Nulls column
– Set primary key
– Save and refresh
Add data
• There are many ways of getting data into your
database
– Manually: Type data directly into your table rows.
– Copy/Paste: Similar to the previous option, but this
one is where you copy data from another source (eg,
excell), then paste it into a table in your database.
– Import: You can use the Import and Export Wizard to
import data from another source.
– SQL Scripts: You can run a SQL script that contains all
data to insert. – this is what we’ll use
