For those of you who wish to learn SQL Server 2008, The Adventure Works databases are available for download here for some of the same data we are familiar with: http://www.codeplex.com/MSFTDBProdSamples/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=14274
There are a number of downloads available, so choose carefully. There are 4 main versions, however I would recommend that you download the full Zipped version, which will give you all four of the AdventureWorks databases, it is around an 85mb download. If you download the MSI version, it does not install and configure the databases for you; however the files are placed here: C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server100ToolsSamples. Once downloaded, there are a few ways to load the samples, the easiest being restoring the .BAK file to SQL, remember to do this for both DW and the OLTP AdventureWorks Databases. For the Cube, you get a project that opens in SQL Server 2008, and from my experience simply deploys (as long as you have set up security correctly).
SQL2008.AdventureWorks_DB_Scripts_v [2005|2008].[ia64.msi|x64.msi|x86.msi|zip]: T-SQL scripts and CSV files for loading all four databases in the AdventureWorks family of databases and diagrams for one year-model, either v2005 or v2008.
SQL2008.AdventureWorks_DW_BI_v[2005|2008].[ia64.msi|x64.msi|x86.msi|zip]: T-SQL scripts, CSV files and database backups for loading the AdventureWorks Data Warehouse database, diagrams and Visual Studio/BIDS projects for Analysis Services projects for business intelligence samples for one year-model, either v2005 or v2008.
SQL2008.AdventureWorks_LT_DB_v[2005|2008].[ia64.msi|x64.msi|x86.msi|zip]: T-SQL scripts and diagrams for the AdventureWorks “Lite” database for one year-model, either v2005 or v2008.
SQL2008.AdventureWorks_OLTP_DB_v[2005|2008].[ia64.msi|x64.msi|x86.msi|zip]: T-SQL scripts, CSV files and database backups for loading the AdventureWorks OLTP database and diagrams for one year-model, either v2005 or v2008.
