How to Install SQL Server

In this tutorial, you will learn how to install SQL Server on a Windows operating system with a brief introduction to SQL in general

Introduction to SQL Server

If you would like to learn about SQL from basic to an advanced level, take GreaterHeight Academy's Master SQL Server Development skill track.

SQL stands for Structured Query Language. As per Wikipedia, SQL is a domain-specific language used in programming and designed for managing data held in a relational database management system (RDBMS), or for stream processing in a relational data stream management system (RDSMS). It is particularly useful in handling structured data, i.e., data incorporating relations among entities and variables (Source).

Data can be inserted, searched, updated, or deleted from the database records using SQL. SQL can be beneficial in maintaining and even optimizing the databases.

As the name suggests, SQL is capable of handling only the structured type of data, which means data that can be represented in rows and columns format like dates, numbers, and strings. On the other hand, unstructured data can be represented in the form of images, videos, speech, or text. But what kind of information do these Databases hold?

They can hold a variety of information or maybe anything that you could think of—ranging from catalogs of product, customer information, images metadata, text data, etc.

Let's say you want to automate the process of Resume screening, and you would like to store the name, education, job experience, and application date of the candidate who has applied for an open job position. You would need a database to be designed which would store the above information related to the candidate, and to achieve this; you will need an SQL server.

In order for the information to be easily accessible and understandable, you need database management systems or relational database management system. DBMS can be helpful in a variety of ways, like sorting information or linking databases to each other, provide reports about any updates in the database, and even manage administrative access to the database. Some of the most popular SQL databases are:

It is the most popular open-source relational database management system. Just to name a few, MySQL is currently being used by Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter. Since it's open-source, it comes without any cost associated with it

It is a multi-model DBMS developed by Oracle and is written in the C++ language. It is widely used for running online transaction processing like bank payment server websites. Though being costly, it is very reliable. To handle unstructured data, Oracle has also released an Oracle NoSQL database.

An RDBMS developed by Microsoft. It supports both structured (SQL) and unstructured (NoSQL) data. Its primary function is to store and retrieve data based on the requests it receives from other software-like applications. It is fast and stable and works well with other Microsoft based products.

It is a cloud computing service created by Microsoft. Its primary functionalities are building, testing, deploying, and managing applications and services which are managed by Microsoft owned data centers. It provides software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS)(Source). It has support for various programming languages. It is considered to give a tough competition to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Few other popular SQL databases are IBM DB2, MariaDB, Sybase, and PostgreSQL.

In today's tutorial, you will learn to install Microsoft SQL (MS SQL). So without any further ado, let's get started!

Installing SQL Server on Windows

1. Firstly you have to search on google Microsoft SQL server download and click on the very first link that it shows as shown below. Make sure it is a Microsoft website and not any other third-party site.

2. Then scroll down and look for Developer edition, click Download Now, and save the file. The developer edition is a full version and comes packaged with a fully featured free edition specially designed for developers.

3. Once the download is successful, go to the downloaded folder and look for the SQLServer2019-SSEI-Dev.exe file. Double click on that file, and you should see Getting things ready, which means everything is going smoothly.

4. After that, it will show you three options Basic, Custom, and Download Media. You need to select the second option, which is Custom.


5. Then you will be asked where you would like your MS SQL installation files to reside, choose accordingly, and click on Install. Make sure you have good internet connectivity. In the meantime, feel free to take a short nap since it will take some time to install.

6. Once the download is complete, you shall see download success. It will take you to the next steps that are necessary. A new window with the SQL Server Installation Center will open, which will have planning, installation, maintenance, etc. You need to click on installation and then on the right side of the panel you will find multiple options, you need to select New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to existing installation.

7. Then it will open the SQL Server 2019 setup window in which, by default, the checkbox with specify a free edition to Developer would be selected. All you need to do is click next and accept the license terms and again click on next. It will install the setup files and move to the next step, which is install rules. You might get a warning of windows firewall, which you can safely ignore.

8. Then you will be directed to the Feature Selection setup in which you will find a lot of options to select from, like instance features, database engine services, machine learning services, etc. You need to select the Database engine services and click next.

9. In the instance configuration, specify an instance name that will be later used to connect to the SQL server. it is Default and click next. You can skip the Server configuration and directly move on to the database engine configuration.

10. In database engine configuration, select mix mode as the authentication mode, specify the password, i.e., SQLServer@2019 and click on add current user. Remember that this password will be used with the instance name that you had created in the previous step. Finally, click on install.

11. Now you will be in the installation progress mode, wait for a while, and let the installation complete. Once the installation is complete, you will receive an Installation successful in the detail box. Feel free to close the SQL server setup window.
