    Hey all,

    I am trying to learn how to use SQL and I have downloaded MSSQL Server 2014 Express. I am a complete beginner with little experience.

    I just downloaded and installed the Adventureworks DB to practice with. Can anyone please tell me where I can find some beginners tutorials to use with this database?

    I am basically looking for a launchpad here and figure out what to do next.

    Thank you

    What direction are you looking to go - The DBA route? SQL Developer? Both? Data warehousing, BI?
