I'm brand-spanking-new to SQL. Any recommendations on tools to build and store a SQL database?

We use Squarespace for hosting and ideally would like a platform that integrates with Squarespace (need to do more research on that). Thanks!

Hi, I personally didn't have much experience with building a database from scratch. And I haven't heard about Squarespace. Sorry.

At work I use SQL Server Management Studio, and I think they have done pretty good job for an interface. I haven't tried to create own database, so can't tell much. But Microsoft is famous for a good GUI to everything, so if you are new to this you can try that, and googling of course what is good what is worse.

Managing a database is not that hard if you know exactly how your project is to be used. If you would be a C# developer I would recommend Entity Framework course here at treehouse, it shows how to create a database using that particular framework.

But with squarespace and simple SQL I don't know, you have to try and google.
