    If you are installing the Server, it will install only server.

    If you in the installer choose "Choose an installation option" and on the next screen choose "custom components" then you will find "Demo database" under "SQL server option" - install that and you will get the Cronus Demo Database.

    Alternatively you can copy the database files (.MDF and .LDF files types) and attach them from SQL Management Studio.

    And if you want to create new DB, you need to use Classic client as usual...

    'Classic Client' as in the older pre 2009 client we're all used to. It's been renamed to 'Classic Client' (Uses native database) and 'Classic Client with SQL Server Option'.

    The role tailored client talks to SQL via a middle-tier server IE it's not connected directly to the database, therefore it can't be used to perform database maintenance type tasks. Hopefully at some point we'll see some tools for managing things a little better than just firing up the classic client.
