Visual Studio and databases

/prog/
I have vs professional and sql server 2005, when I want to add a webserver to a project it tells me it can't and that I have to install sql 2005 express, wtf ?

That was one of the best posts I've read today. I applaud you, Anonymous.

Seriously, wtf. Projects don't have databases, database applications have databases. I've used ODBC wrappers to connect to a MySQL database (in b4 "MySQL fag"). I've never used SQL Express myself, but I'd imagine it runs as a standalone application which you have to configure separately, then connect to. And hell, it probably has an ODBC wrapper, which isn't quite as bad as >>12 makes it out to be.

tl;dr rtfm, fuckhead.
