Wondering what I have already installed is what I need?

I have SQL Server 2014 Management Studio already installed on my computer from last year from one of my college classes. Can I use this or do I need to download something else?

Hi, Roger,

SQL Server Management Studio is a tool for configuring and managing Microsoft SQL Server.

The course you are doing is related to MySQL Server, which is a different product for the same purpose. For MySQL you need to install MySQL Server and MySQL Workbench.

MySQL Workbench is to MySQL server what SQL Server Management Studio is for Microsoft SQL Server.

I hope this helps.
