SQL Server • SQL Server • This is a relational database management system. • This assists with encryption, analysis, reporting, among other areas. • SQL • Structured Query Language • A database querying language. • Used in requesting and modifying data in a database. • With the installation of the SQL Server • Client Network Utility is also installed.

  3. The Network Utility • Client Network Utility • Automatically installed on each of the Windows operating systems, starting with Windows 2000. • This is the client-based counterpart to SQL Server Network Utility. • Changes the way that the client machines communicate with the SQL Server. • Ex.
