Hello
A database is basically a place where to store data (hopefully in a structured manner). You store information in databases to temporary or permanent storage. Databases are used everywhere, shops record their sales data over time and some analysis the data to see how they can increase their profits, banks have databases, councils use databases to track electricity and water usage, the list goes on. Wikipedia says: Microsoft SQL Server is a relational model database server produced by Microsoft. Its primary query languages are T-SQL and ANSI SQL.
I doubt if you selected Full Install on VB.NET that SQL Server would be installed. Visual Studio and SQL Server are different products. You can go to http://www.microsoft.com/express/sql/Default.aspx to download the free version of SQL Server. SQL Server is not the only database platform available there are also others like Oracle and DB2. Allot of people start learning about databases by using Microsoft Access. Though it is not used in large environments/production Access is a good learning tool.
Hope this answers your questions

- This is a SQL Server forum. You could probably get away with asking generalised questions about database but this forum is primarily used for SQL Server questions and discussions. I beleive http://www.utteraccess.com/ has good forums about database and MS Access too.
