On the left side you will see databases named master etc. On clicking any of the database,
you’ll see default tables in that database. You can also right click on any of the table and
select ‘return all rows’ to see the entire values in the table. But you have to create your own
database with your own name. Run the following query by pressing F5 key:
Now create the table in the above created database using the CREATE TABLE command:

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the SQL Server installation and command execution lab provided
valuable hands-on experience with setting up a robust database management system
and using SQL commands for data manipulation and management. Through the
installation process, key configurations were learned, ensuring proper environment
setup for future database operations. Additionally, practicing essential SQL
commands, such as creating databases, tables, and performing queries, reinforced an
understanding of how SQL Server functions to store, retrieve, and manage data
efficiently. This lab highlighted the importance of SQL Server in enterprise database
solutions and its role in handling complex datasets.
