Yes, you select RE_1 unless you have multiple databases. RE_50 is the sample database.

As I mentioned earlier.

Your DBA should be able to set you up with an SQL userid. Mine are set up with Windows Authentication, so that I can just click on the "Trusted Connection" and log in.

The rights that you have depend on how this SQL userid is set up. Mine is set up as dbo, but anyone else I set up as just data_reader.
