If you are going to be doing much development, get the SQL Server
Developer's Edition. I gather it's currently only around $49 USD. You won't
find any value anywhere that compares with what you get for that.

If you aren't getting that and web isn't your style, we have a free personal
tool (MSDE Manager) at our site that might help.

to do next. I heard that MSDE is only a database engine and you need to
download tools/toolkits to create databases and tables. Where can I get the
necessary tools to start creating my database in MSDE?
