Code samples are often sufficient. You'd be better off simply setting up a
laptop for yourself, if you want to show live code, and put SQL Server or
MSDE on the laptop. The limited-use developer version is affordable, and
MSDE is essentially free.
As for transfering SQL Server databases, you can backup and restore or use
the DTS transfer manager, or even use sp_attach_db to install existing
databases from another server.
