But the procedure for creating a database in SQL server 2005 in almost same as it was in the older versions of the software. As we know, a new database in SQL server can be created in at least two ways (a) Enterprise Manager (b) SQL Query. In SQL server 2005 everything is packed under SQL server management studio. That means the new name of our old Enterprise Manager is now “SQL Server Management Studio”.
