First of all,
I have no idea what I am doing. I have no idea if this is the correct version that I should be using or not. I have never used SQL Server before.
I am trying to study for exam 070-461. I have the necessary books, but I am trying to get a more "hands-on" feel.

Second,
Let's assume that I downloaded the 64-bit version. SQL Server DB is what I downloaded and it went to my desktop. I installed SQL Server, but I have no idea how to actually use it. Like, I searched my entire computer and the only thing that appears is the thing to install SQL Server. Ok great. It's like, I installed it, but it's not here. I feel like I am doing something silly :)
Please help me fix my silliness :)
