I just downloaded Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition and I want to create a local SQL Server database so I can start local development.
How do I get started? How do I create a local SQL Server database?

You can create a new project in VS2008 which is a database solution.

You can either create one in code, or download the management tools and do it through the UI. If all you downloaded was the runtime these are not included.

This walk through, Creating a SQL Server Express Database File should help you out some.
If you have time and further questions about Visual Studio Web Developer Express you can also watch videos at: Visual Web Developer Express - Easy to Learn and Building Web Applications with Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008.
Good luck and hope this helps some.
