Sql Server 2014 Developer Edition Free Download for Windows 7

Downloading and Installing SQL Server 2014

A Kingdom project that is stored as a Microsoft SQL database needs to be attached to an SQL Server instance before it can be linked in Insight. Follow the steps below to download and install Microsoft SQL Server Express edition for free from Microsoft's website.

Insight will automatically attach Auto SSE projects to SQL Server when connecting. If you have a manual project, or your database is not auto-attaching, try Manually Attaching Kingdom SQL Database. To do that, you will need to Download and Install Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express.

If you, or someone you share the project with, plan to open the project using Kingdom in the future, see SQL Server versions and backwards compatibility .

• Downloading SQL Server Express 2014
• Installing SQL Server Express

Note: SQL Server Express has backward compatibility issues. Kingdom over the past few years have updated their version of SQL Server Express. Once a Kingdom database has been opened in a more recent version of Kingdom the database is no longer compatible with older versions of SQL Server Express. This can be resolved by upgrading your SQL version to SQL Server Express 2014. If returning the original Kingdom project to your customer, make a copy of the Kingdom project before connecting to DUG-Insight. If you're unsure please contactsupport@dug.com .
