In the table below, you will find links to download the demo code used in the videos. I encourage viewers to experiment with this code in their own environment!
Most of these demos use one or more of the standard sample databases created and distributed by Microsoft: AdventureWorks (download here) and ContosoRetailDW (download here). I might occasionally use other databases; this will be indicated in the demo script.
