That would be a SQL concepts course then, not a database concepts
course. SQL Server is only one example of a database system. Anyway my
recommendation stands. If you want concepts get a concepts book rather
than a product tutorial.

It's true that there are plenty of bad books about. Teaching database
concepts using Access would be rather like trying to teach English
Literature using a Speak and Spell machine - you wouldn't have the
apparatus.

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content
of any error messages.
