Well, what alternative sample databases exist that have:
- 开发者_运维技巧
- an un-restrictive license
- loads of sample data
- lots of data types
- a simple mechanism for adding the database to a db server
- are not Northwind
I'm not too fussed what server type (MSSQL, SQLite, MySQL, etc.) the db is designed for.
How about
Chinook Database
See also Chinook Database Schema
Microsoft do another set of sample databases called AdventureWorks (these are often used in MS courses). They canbe downloaded from here for SQL 2005 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e719ecf7-9f46-4312-af89-6ad8702e4e6e&displaylang=en#Overview.
I'm not sure how much sample data is shipped with it though!
This looks promising: http://www.databaseanswers.org/data_models/
i love AdventureWorks, there's also a diagram available
Here are some MS sample databases from CodePlex, called AdventureWorks.
