AdventureWorks - the "new standard" for sample databases out of Redmond. Scott Whigham, author of LearnSqlServer.com and LearnTransactSql.com, is certainly a fan of this new database for certain things but also feels reservations about the complexity of AdventureWorks when it comes to using it as your primary training database. Nevertheless, this video (part 1), walks you through the layout of AdventureWorks, how the schemas are used, and shows some of the "primary" relationships between the important tables and views. This video provides a good starting point for working with AdventureWorks and understanding how the tables are related.

This video is part of the following video series: "An Overview of the AdventureWorks Database"
AdventureWorks is a very important database in SQL Server 2005 because it (a) is designed to show you how to (correctly) use many of the new features in SQL Server 2005 (as befits a sample database from Microsoft), and (b) it is used in most of the examples in the Books Online, and (c) because so many people use AdventureWorks in their demos! This video series walks you through the AdventureWorks architecture and tries to make sense of it all. AdventureWorks can be intimidating for someone new to SQL Server 2005 but, after watching this series of videos, you'll have a much stronger knowledge of the design and decisions in AdventureWorks.
