Answer:

If you want to practice DML statements, like INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements, you should create a testing table. The tutorial exercise shows you a good example:

CREATE TABLE ggl_links (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
url VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL,
notes VARCHAR(1024),
counts INT,
created DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT(getdate()))
GO

SELECT c.column_id as seq, c.name, x.name as type,
c.max_length, c.is_nullable
FROM sys.columns c, sys.tables t, sys.systypes x
WHERE c.object_id = t.object_id
AND c.system_type_id = x.xtype
AND t.name = 'ggl_links'
ORDER BY c.column_id
GO
seq name type max_length is_nullable
1 id int 4 0
2 url varchar 80 0
3 notes varchar 1024 1
4 counts int 4 1
5 created datetime 8 0

You should keep this table to practice other tutorial exercises presented in this collection.
