SQL Server 2008 data types: which ones should I use?

Question

I am trying to figure out what data types should I use for my tables. Does anyone have a very good, simple, tutorial on SQL Server 2008 data types (should it be practical!)?

Answer 1

http://searchsqlserver.techtarget.com/feature/SQL-Server-2008 -data-types-Datetime-string-user-defined-and-more
The first link is more practical. As far as I know, SQL Server 2005 and 2008 have almost the same data types. (except for the new DateTime data type).
