The purpose is to handle the user's data (you can call them project, document, file, or whatever) in a brand new SQL Server 2008 Express database. The data are expected to occupy much less space than the 4GB available with the express edition (which is also free to distribute). E.g., each time the user selects File->New command, a new empty database will be created at the specified location. On the other hand, a similar command, File->Open must provide support to retrieve the list of the databases to select one for opening. So, the following issues must be resolved: a) The application must be

I have a plain sql file with some SQL INSERT statements. Is it possible to import it in my local SQL Server Express instance? You can use Management Studio Express edition. You can download the latest version here - which will work against SQL Express 2005, 2008 and 2008 R2. If you don't want to install SSMSE then you can use sqlcmd at a command prompt, e.g. something like this (assuming Windows auth and an instance called "SQLEXPRESS"): sqlcmd -S .\SQLEXPRESS -E -i "C:\path\file.sql" The easiest way would be simply open the file in the Sql Management Studio and run it.

I am new to SQL Server Management Studio and am wondering: is there is a way to see which queries have been run against a database? In the Activity monitor, there is a "Recent Expensive Queries" report but I'm guessing that isn't all of the queries since I'm not seeing the ones I have run.

It will show you a list of "Recent Expensive Queries". You can double-click them to see the execution plan, etc. If

I use a MS SQL express db. I can connect and fetch data. But inserting data does not work: cursor.execute("insert into [mydb].[dbo].[ConvertToolLog] ([Message]) values('test')") I get no error but nothing is inserted into the table. Directly after I fetch the data the inserted row is fetched. But nothing is saved. In MS SQL Server Management Studio the insertion does work. You need to commit the data.

I then change the entity model, and while I know that I could do migrations, I just want to start from scratch and basically wipe the database from the earth.
