How To: Install Umbraco with SQL Server as Database?

Hi there

I’m using VS Code with the “IIS Express” Plugin.

So as written in the docs, i got the latest Umbraco Installer Package 8.11.1 and to be honest i was confused.

I had my SQL Express already done and wanted to add the db threw the installation.

Later without any settings, Umbraco made itself “Umbraco.sdf” and i can’t figure out why?

Is this just normal behavior or can i change that? So when im creating a Connectionstring into my SQL Server?
