SQL Server is a relational database management system (RDBMS) developed by Microsoft. It is a popular choice for businesses of all sizes, and it is used to store and manage data for a variety of applications. In order to use SQL Server, it must be running on a server computer. There are a few different ways to check if SQL Server is running.
One way to check if SQL Server is running is to use the Task Manager. To do this, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open the Task Manager. Then, click on the “Services” tab. Find the “SQL Server” service in the list, and check if it is running. If the service is running, it will say “Running” in the “Status” column.
