SQL Server Setup Within Visual Basic

Its my second year in college and I hope to create a database for my project. I like to be on top of the work and I wanted to create my own database I could use for playing around.

I am completely new to this area of programming and I love it already, though I have some floors in my initial ideas.

Creating a database seems to be a problem, I cant see many instructional posts out in the internet, they always tell me how to connect to an existing database.

What I ideally want is to host a server on a raspberry pi and connect to it with visual basic.

Though It looks like I cant do that? OR have I missed something?

Or either create one to host on my desktop.

(Through some sort of program or by using VMWare and creating a virtual machine)
Another question, is their a chance of creating tables while your connected through visual basic.

Thank you for your time, Trevor Boultwood

Raspberry Pi's are pretty nice (I have 2), but you can't run SQL Server on them. You may be able to run a Linux based database like MySQL.

Yes, you can create tables programmatically with VB, how exactly you do it depends on the database you select.

If you want to run VB.Net code on the RPi, you'll need to install Mono on it, and be aware, Mono doesn't have great VB support so you may want to try to learn C#.
