title: SQL Server Express vs express localdb
body: <p>I am having quite a few problems understanding differences between regular SQL Server Express and express Localdb.</p>
  
  <p>Before you go ahead and tag a previous post about this question, I've went through question history quite a few times.</p>
  
  <p>The resources that I found somewhat helpful were:
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10183379/is-there-a-difference-between-sql-server-express-2012-and-localdb">Is there a difference between SQL Server Express (2012) and LocalDB?</a> and an official Microsoft page article about it.</p>
  
  <p>I believe I do understand that Express Localdb is an edition of SQL Server Express, that is targeted to developers in order to reduce time consumption of all the "configuration".</p>
  
  <p>What exact configuration? What is the difference If I use Username\SQLEXPRESS versus (Localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB, it creates a database anyway.
  What are the differences in terms of publishing your application into production?</p>
