AdventureWorks to pubs Table Comparison
Some tables in the AdventureWorks sample database are similar in structure and content to tables in the pubs sample database. You can use the following table to convert queries that use pubs to queries that use AdventureWorks by selecting columns from the appropriate AdventureWorks tables. For example, if a query references the discounts table in pubs, a similar query can be written for AdventureWorks by using the Sales.SpecialOffer table. Notice that AdventureWorks uses schema names other than dbo. The schema names are included with the table names and must be specified when performing queries against the tables. For more information, see Schemas in AdventureWorks.
