1 00:00:00,330 --> 00:00:02,460 Welcome to the first video in this course. 2 00:00:02,460 --> 00:00:10,140 Introduction to school server 2017 and today we'll be looking at downloading and installing this bit 3 00:00:10,140 --> 00:00:11,880 of software now. 4 00:00:12,130 --> 00:00:17,660 A database is pretty much a logical collection of related data. 5 00:00:17,670 --> 00:00:18,780 That's it in a nutshell. 6 00:00:18,780 --> 00:00:25,830 If you have prior experience with databases it probably came with Microsoft Access or my S2 well and 7 00:00:25,830 --> 00:00:27,920 you just want to extend your knowledge beyond that. 8 00:00:27,930 --> 00:00:34,080 And even if you have no prior knowledge of databases This is an excellent course to get you up to speed 9 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,080 with what databases are capable of. 10 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:43,110 What preparation is to go in place and how you can go about starting your journey towards becoming a 11 00:00:43,110 --> 00:00:48,170 database administrator or just manipulating data in databases altogether. 12 00:00:48,210 --> 00:00:56,550 As I said before we'll be exploring all of these concepts using Microsoft Eskew server 2017 and I already 13 00:00:56,550 --> 00:00:59,550 have it up on my screen the page for download. 14 00:00:59,550 --> 00:01:07,380 So I have included the U R L as outlined here in the class notes and this would get you to downloading 15 00:01:07,380 --> 00:01:15,360 the Microsoft school server 2017 express database engine and the short description is that it's a powerful 16 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:22,910 and reliable database management system that allows you to build lightweight Web sites and desktop applications. 17 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,420 So this is pretty good. 18 00:01:24,420 --> 00:01:26,570 Pretty decent is a decent starting place. 19 00:01:26,580 --> 00:01:31,230 If you don't have that high spec high end machine you just have a regular machine you just want to get 20 00:01:31,230 --> 00:01:31,620 started. 21 00:01:31,620 --> 00:01:33,300 This is an excellent option. 22 00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:40,380 There are other additions that you would probably see in your research but if you follow this link it 23 00:01:40,380 --> 00:01:45,450 will cut through all of that noise and all the other additions and we can get started with Express so 24 00:01:45,450 --> 00:01:51,600 you can go ahead and download and initiate initiate that download procedure and then another bit of 25 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:57,120 software that we're interested in is the Esko server management studio. 26 00:01:57,340 --> 00:02:03,630 Know the management studio will be your gateway into actually interacting with the database interrogating 27 00:02:03,630 --> 00:02:08,970 the data and writing what we call queries in a language we call escrow. 28 00:02:09,030 --> 00:02:11,570 We'll get into all of those things in due time. 29 00:02:11,580 --> 00:02:18,630 But for now you can follow this euro once again it's in the class notes and we can just take this download 30 00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:21,750 button to initialize this download which may take awhile. 31 00:02:21,750 --> 00:02:27,810 It's a pretty big file so as soon as that download is done we'll reconvene and then we'll walk through 32 00:02:27,810 --> 00:02:30,800 that installation process. 33 00:02:30,830 --> 00:02:32,340 Guys welcome back. 34 00:02:32,390 --> 00:02:39,820 Know that our downloads are finished we'll start by installing our school express engine. 35 00:02:39,950 --> 00:02:47,170 So we just click on that installation file click Run and then we will be greeted with this installation 36 00:02:47,170 --> 00:02:52,160 on screen we can click basic custom would allow you to select certain features. 37 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,080 At this stage we don't need to be doing that. 38 00:02:54,080 --> 00:03:01,080 We can just go with basic we can go ahead and agree to the terms and conditions you can read it through 39 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,270 if you wish. 40 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,650 If you have other ideas then you may want to change the rhetoric otherwise you may as well leave as 41 00:03:07,650 --> 00:03:11,550 a default and you can see here that of 6 gigabytes. 42 00:03:11,550 --> 00:03:18,540 We only really need 300 megabytes so I'm just going to go ahead and click install and this may take 43 00:03:18,540 --> 00:03:21,540 a while so you will reconvene once this is finished. 44 00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:22,440 OK. 45 00:03:22,470 --> 00:03:29,760 So at the end of that installation procedure you'll see that you were successful in doing this installation 46 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:35,520 and then they give you some information to give you a connection string so if you wanted to develop 47 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:41,300 an application on top of this database then you would probably want to pay attention to this part. 48 00:03:41,470 --> 00:03:47,790 But that's not really necessary right now and they just give you the parts for the love files and other 49 00:03:48,090 --> 00:03:50,270 essential bits of the application. 50 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:58,230 Another essential part of this installation process as mentioned before is to install the sequel Management 51 00:03:58,230 --> 00:04:05,130 Server studio at the end of this express addition installation they will actually give you an option 52 00:04:05,130 --> 00:04:12,070 to C install SS m s and this will really just bring up your browser to navigate to. 53 00:04:12,270 --> 00:04:19,830 Well I figure this speech so the link to this page is already included in the class notes and here from 54 00:04:19,830 --> 00:04:26,760 here you can get a direct download to the management studiously if you didn't do it before you may just 55 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,090 follow this link and get that file. 56 00:04:29,110 --> 00:04:37,980 I already have it downloaded here so I just initiate this installation all of this will launch the installer 57 00:04:38,010 --> 00:04:43,260 and they really just give you one button to click which is install of course you can change its location 58 00:04:43,260 --> 00:04:45,500 if you have other ideas for the path. 59 00:04:45,690 --> 00:04:50,670 Otherwise you may leave it as the as the default and just click install. 60 00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:52,410 So this may also take a while. 61 00:04:52,410 --> 00:04:59,470 So we will reconvene at the end of this process. 62 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:00,200 OK. 63 00:05:00,230 --> 00:05:06,710 So our installation is finished and all we have to do is restart to continue so we can just do that 64 00:05:06,710 --> 00:05:13,510 quickly and we in the next video we'll start looking at how we start piecing everything together. 65 00:05:13,580 --> 00:05:18,560 What's a database is and why learning this skill is so important. 66 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,120 Stay tuned.
