Tutorials for SQL Server

Applies to: SQL Server

SQL Server provides tutorials to help you learn new technologies and features. Tutorials for earlier versions can usually be used with more recent versions. When tutorials address a newer feature, they indicate the minimum version to complete the tutorial.

  • If a tutorial uses one of the Adventure Works databases, you should download and use the most recent version. For more information, see AdventureWorks sample databases.

  • Download a Power Pivot workbook and Power View reports to use with Power View tutorials, go to SQL Server Samples.

    Note

    Power View support is no longer available after SQL Server 2017.

  • Check out the new Wide World Importers sample available on the sql-server-samples GitHub repository.
