What is the difference between using the built in SQL Server Database (.mdf) over using sql server management studio? Is there any differences or benefits of using 开发者_如何学运维one or the other for say a CMS?

Both Visual Studio and SQL Server Management Studio work with the same .mdf files. These are simply the data format files that make up a SQL Server database. SSMS will give you a much more rich set of administration features to help in your database maintenance.

If you are going to be building full system, you will want to begin using SSMS at some point in my opinion. This will give you some easier GUI interface options to work with for administrating.
