beginning SQL

Hello, I would like to be able to construct a small SQL data base with Visual Basic.Net code for practice. I want to be able to add to the data base, subtract from the data base, perform all Sql procedures ( Select, delete, etc.) I would also like to include the ExecuteNonQuery, ExecuteScalar, and ExecuteReader methods. Can anybody out there recommend a good tutorial for me? Thank you so much. MarcAbelson_2000@.yahoo.com
