# Tutorials for SQL Server

[!INCLUDE [sqlserver](../includes/applies-to-version/sqlserver.md)]

[!INCLUDE [ssnoversion-md](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] provides tutorials to help you learn new technologies and features. Tutorials for earlier versions can usually be used with more recent versions. When tutorials address a newer feature, they indicate the minimum version to complete the tutorial.

- If a tutorial uses one of the [!INCLUDE [ssSampleDBCoShort](../includes/sssampledbcoshort-md.md)] databases, you should download and use the most recent version. For more information, see [AdventureWorks sample databases](https://github.com/microsoft/sql-server-samples/releases/tag/adventureworks).

- Check out the new [Wide World Importers sample databases for Microsoft SQL](../samples/wide-world-importers-what-is.md) sample available on the [sql-server-samples](https://github.com/Microsoft/sql-server-samples) GitHub repository.
