I am the absolute definition of a newbie.
I am just starting my first SQL class online and the book doesnt tell me where to install SQL server 2000 Evaluation
when I open it, the path is automatically
C:\SQLEVAL
Do I leave it that way and continue with the install
or... do I want to put it in program files ?
I have no clue and have not heard back from my instructor on this matter

Usually it goes under program files but it doesnt really matter. Install away! Post questions as you have them, we don't mind newbie questions at all.

Thankyou sooo much for your help, I am sure I will be back to ask more questions as time goes on.

Is there anywhere that gives you step by step instructions on this... with screenshots ?
I am completely frustrated with this.

The typical install is very straight forward, just a wizard where all the defaults usually work. Where are you stuck?

ok... it is installed... now have to do this... but no clue how to do it
Issue the following two statements from your Query Tool:
----------------------------
use RecipesExample;
select * from ingredients;
----------------------------
Enter the number of rows that were returned.
what is the Query tool and how do I find it ... and where should I see the number of rows returned ?

It sounds like you've installed the software which is a good step. The sql query you have above will run on a database called "RecipesExample" and a table called "ingredients". In Sql server, you can have many databases. In each database, you can have many tables.
In your tutorial/book/class documentation or notes, were there instructions about adding the "RecipesExample" database to sql server? Within that database there would be a table called "ingredients". Once you add the database, then someone can walk you thru running the query above.

Irene, You are lucky to have so many helpful members on this forum. But, I am surprised that your course-instructors or materials did not give you any help. Perhaps you would be better off dropping this course and buying a couple of good books (step by step). I am sure, members will give you a list of books if you need. Best wishes r_achar
