I wish to download the latest version of SQL server 2008. Where to get it? in microsoft website, I'm confused with so many SQL server 2008 versions and links. I want to install SQL server 2008 to my laptop Windows 7 ultimate. I want to practice my stored procedure, triggers, etc. Thank you very much.

If that's all you need to do, the Express Edition will suffice:

does the express edition have management studio? you know, where I can type in the stored procedure, sql queries, triggers and stuff? thanks

Edit: in the link you provided, only the 64bit is available for download. my os is win 7 ultimate 32 bit. will it work? thanks

Hmmm, can't remember if R2 was 64 bit only, anyway here SQL 2008 Express:

Both links include the management tools.
