I'm working through the lessons at Programmer’s Heaven's "C# School" tutorial (http://www.programmersheaven.com/2/Les_CSharp_0), and I'm currently on lesson 13, "Data Access in .Net using ADO.Net", so of course I've been trying to connect to Programmer’s Heaven's SQL and MS Access / OleDb databases. Unfortunately, they're now offline. Can anyone please tell me; are there other such databases available for those learning

I've got the Northwind sample database, so I'm able to practice accessing an MS Access / OleDb database. However, I understand that SQL Server is the more prominent technology now, so it's really important that I get an SQL Server sample database to practice accessing. It would be great if I could get one from a source other than AdventureWorks. (See my post "I can’t install SQL Server 2008 Express with Advanced Services - Help!" in this forum.)
I've never heard of Pubs - is it an SQL Server sample database?
