Is there a free ms sql host?

I am looking for a free ms sql database for my programs, but i don't want to host it on my computer, because my web host does not allow servers to be run and people connecting to thme.

SQL Express is free to download and use...but you would have to find your own host for it...

Is Rreporting services and add on module?

I installed SQL 05 and all it's options including RS, however I don't see any
programs to launch any RS programs other than the configurator.
What am I missing here?

The Reporting Services development environment is called SQL Server
Business Intelligence Development Environment and is normally located
in Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2005. Hope this helps.

Sr. Software Consultant|||the default RS access is full web based, so there is no program anywhere.
(its the standard access for the end users)
after this, from the admin point of view you can manage it using the SQL
management studio or through the /reports web site (where the admin can
manage the security and few parameters).
and finally from a developer point of view, you can create and publish
reports using Visual Studio.

is notification services installed?

Hi All,
for ss2000, if notification services was installed, it will show up under
add remove programs...correct?
but for ss2005, it does not show up under add/remove... but you would see it
in management studio...correct?
thanks
Hello Jason,
As for SQL Server 2005 database instance, after you install it on your
machine, you can still use the "Control Panel--> Add/Remove programs" to
modify or remove it. The difference from SQL Server 2000 instance is that,
you need to first select the "Microsoft SqlServer 2005" in the add/remove
program's installed program list, and then choose "Change" or "Remove"
according to what you want to do. Then, it will show all installed SQL
Server 2005 instances and all the available installed SQL Server 2005
components(such as notification service, reporting service...), you can
choose add or remove certain component. Here is a knowledge base article
detailedly describe this:
#How to use the Add or Remove Programs item in Control Panel to add or
remove components for stand-alone installations and clustered installations
of SQL Server 2005
