In ArcMap you have a "Database servers" connection where you can manage Sql Server Express, Create new geodatabase, manage users etc.

Do you have anything like this in Pro?

Thanks

Any updates? While I can connect to and edit a "Personal ArcSDE" geodatabase (one rung down from a "Workgroup" database) that I created in ArcCatalog, I cannot create new databases via Pro.  I'm on the most current version: 2.4.3.

Here's my update. I got frustrated with performance and connection issues with SQL Express (no Enterprise so limited to three connections), so I have spun up Postgres/PostGIS (11, 3.0), migrated all my data over, and switched most of my editing to QGIS. ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Desktop are still used for view-only users and this works quite well. Performance is night and day compared to SQL Express. Of course it would also be possible to enable editing in Arc* if we purchased Enterprise, but that is not on the radar at the moment.

I honestly feel like Esri is just ignoring this. How is it I need to have ArcMap just to create a GDB in SQL Express?
