Prebuilt Databases
SQL Server 2008 includes a number of pre-built databases that can be used to quickly create and deploy applications, or to serve as examples for building custom databases. These pre-built databases include:
- AdventureWorks: This database is designed to showcase the features of SQL Server and to provide a sample database for learning purposes. It contains data for a fictional bicycle manufacturer and includes tables for customers, orders, products, and employees.
- Northwind: This database is a classic example used in many SQL Server tutorials and is designed for a fictitious company that sells food products. It contains tables for customers, orders, products, suppliers, and employees.
- ReportServer: This database is used by the SQL Server Reporting Services feature, which allows you to create, manage, and deliver reports to users. It includes tables for storing report metadata, user information, and scheduling information.
- AdventureWorksDW: This database is a data warehouse version of the AdventureWorks database, which means it is designed for analytics and reporting purposes. It includes tables for storing data in a denormalized, optimized format.
These pre-built databases can save developers a significant amount of time by providing a starting point for their applications or by serving as a reference for building custom databases. They are also useful for learning and experimenting with SQL Server, as they demonstrate best practices and provide practical examples of database design and management.
