Installed SQL Server?…Now What? (Getting Started)

This video provides three examples of how to get started with SQL Server 2008. The video uses SQL Server 2008 R2 Express, but these steps should work with all versions of SQL Server. The first example shows how to create new databases and tables. The second example shows how to find, download, and install the AdventureWorks sample databases. The final step shows how to import data from an Excel spreadsheet. All of these steps show useful skills and patterns in SQL Server Management Studio.
