More details on different versions of SQL Server can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/enus/server-cloud/products/sql-server/Purchasing.aspx

Please also note that by default SQL Server database doesn’t have any user interface through which we can interact with the database so we use Microsoft SQL Server Management studio (Integrated Development Environment - IDE) to work with the SQL Server database.

Please ensure that when you are installing the database, you also choose to install Microsoft Management Studio or SQL Server (version) Management studio.
