The SQL Server 2005 that i installed, i can't find any Database icon there, from START menu i use to see the following:

CONFIGURATION TOOLS
1. sql server configuration manager
2. sql server error and usage reports
3. sql server surface area configuration.

So i can find Sql Management Studio in what i installed. I need more assistant on how i can connect to my database, God will blessed whole house.

You have to select to download the option that actually includes the Database Server Engine itself. http://www.microsoft.com/express/sql/download/

By default the management studio should have been installed along with the full package.
Except if your system does not fully satisfied the requirement. Of which the major one that can cause this kind of problem is the deactivation of IIS. To solve this issue, goto your control panel and put things in place. The steps depend on the kind of window you are using i would have stated the steps.
NB If you are using window vista home premium like my own, it's a pity that it doesn't support the required iis feature, as sql server management studio can not work on it. but you can still have your database running which you can access from other packages like the gurus have said ealier.
That's my findings, but if anybody know how to overcome the problem of vista home premium and sql server management studio, pls let's know

Sequel server 2005 is a pretty straight forward install, and if there are issues you can fix from the posts i,ve seen so far on the thread. but the following knowledge might help.
IF your using the express edition of sql server it does not come with the management studio, it is just the engine, but can be worked with using other IDE like visual studio.
my advice is get the standard edition of sql server and follow the rest of the suggestions from the guru

Thanks Guru in the house, a'v download the one with management studio

I appreaciate ur contribution
