Flash MX 2004 Games : Art to ActionScript

Chapter 14: Quizzes
For now we will assume that the server is local to your machine and that you are logged on as
administrator. Right-click on the ‘Database’ folder and choose ‘New Database’. For the examples
in this chapter I have created a database called ‘a2a’.
Figure 14.2 Creating the database, stage 1
By default the files for the database are stored in the ‘C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\Data’ folder. Each database uses two files, the data file and the transaction log.
You can change the path to these files using the Database Properties dialog that is opened when
you create a database.
Creating a user for the database
Having created the database we will now create a user. In this example the user is called ‘quiz’
and has access via SQL Server Authentication using a password. To create a new user expand
the database folder and select the newly created database ‘a2a’, if you are following the example.
Expand the ‘a2a’ folder and right-click on Users, select ‘New Database User...’ from the context
menu. This brings up the dialog box that you can see in Figure 14.5.
