MS SQL Express 2005 Client?

hi to all,

newbie to ms sql here. i just installed the free sql express edition and i do not know what i need to access the database...

shouldn't there be a gui somewhere that shows how to create, edit, connect, to a database?

thanks in advance

Download the SQL Server Express Managment Studio: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/download/
