Technology : Microsoft SQL Server 2008

Aim : Master SQL Server 2008 using Microsoft's databases

I am looking for a tutorial where I get a lot of exercises to do, so that I can master SQL Server 2008. Isn't it a good idea to choose Microsoft's databases such as Northwinds , pubs , AdventureWorks. Which one is good? Can you give me a link to exercises if you choose between the databases?

I am focused on the set of exercises rather than tutorials. Just questions are enough . :)

Answer 2

If you are a beginner you can start with tutorials in w3schools. You can first learn basics by creating your own simple database, executing queries. The standard available DataBases which you have mentioned above will also be helpful.
