Server Databases Versus Local Databases
You can create two different types of databases with SQL Server Express: Server and Local.
By default, when you install SQL Server 2008 Express, a named instance of the server is created with the name SQLExpress. You can create a new Server database by connecting to the named instance and adding a new database.
Note
To connect to SQL Server 2005 Express from a page served from Internet Information Server, you must add either the ASPNET account (in the case of Windows XP) or the Network Service account (for Windows 2003, Vista, and 7) to SQL Server Express. These accounts are created for you automatically when you install the QuickStart Tutorials included with the .NET Framework SDK Documentation.
