Here's a quick video to show you how to install Microsoft's AdventureWorks sample database in SQL Server using the SQL Server Management Studio. AdventureWorks is a useful database if you want to learn SQL. I use it extensively in my SQL tutorials.

00:00 - Downloading AdventureWorks
00:27 - Installing AdventureWorks
01:02 - Validating the install
01:20 - Alternative sample database

Note that you don't need to create a database for AdventureWorks. The installation script will create the new database for you.

Which sample database do you think is the best one? I prefer Northwind over AdventureWorks because Northwind is less complex and the tables contain less data. Also AdventureWorks contains dubious coding practices that will make your DBA angry, like making a view with 10 table joins!!!
