How to run SQL Server Exp 2005

Dear friends

I have installed SQL Server Express Edition (55 mb).
Program >> Start >> MS SQL Server 2005 >> Configuration Tool ... this is what being displayed. This is my first use of MS Sql Server, before this I was using Oracle and after installation one could see Sql Plus from where the user can log in.

I am confused how to start SQL Server Expr 2005 edition and try some sql.
Please help me out..

Have a nice day

If you want to run commandline queries (I know that Oracle guys like that :-) ) you can use the OSQL.EXE (but this will be deprecated in the future) or the SQLCMD.EXE which is the successor of the OSQL.exe.

You must be a member of sysadmin fixed server role or have alter trace
permissions.

grant ALTER TRACE to the user's login.

We have a tool called SQLBenchmarkPro that is designed precisely to meet
this requirement - it's a service based Trace management tool that allows
users to run traces against SQL 2000 (& SQL 2005) without needing sa
permissions. It also allows many other high-end trace management features,
such as scheduling, central collection, performance analysis etc. You can
download an eval at: www.GAJSoftware.com
