Starting SQL Server

Running SQL Server

Name of the server	sqlservr.exe
Name of the client	isql.exe or isqlw.exe or "SQL Server Enterprise Manager.MSC" to be found in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn" There is also a client in \Win\System32\ but I cannot find it now, someone please help me.
Typical command line to start the client	isql -U scott -P tiger -d gisq gisq name of the database scott user name tiger password
Useful commands	use databaseX go sp_help tableX; go
Beware!	You must type go after every command If you are using windows you might as well use isqlw.exe If ou are familiar with Microsoft Access it is easy to link to SQL Server tables and work from Access.
