Prerequisites and Requirements for This Book

This chapter assumes that you have installed Microsoft SQL Server 2014, at least the Express Edition, or possibly the “With Tools” version that also includes SQL Server Management Studio Express. If you did not install it yet, you can download it from here: http://www.microsoft.com/express/sql/default.aspx.

If you installed SQL Server Management Studio (Express or higher), it is a good idea to attach the Northwind database to the SQL Server instance so you can simulate a production environment.
