Sql Express LocalDb

LocalDb - introduced around the Sql 2012 RC release is a geared toward developers and dev machines. Acting much like Sql Express simplifies development, without having to maintain a full blown Sql express instance. Localdb is spawned on demand via Visual studio without having to keep a SQL process/service running in the background all the time - adding a little more processing power to dev machines.

You can connect to the LocalDb instance like this - (LocalDb)\v11.0
