Databases



Ok so what SQL Server DBA doesn’t need sample databases for various project testing and demonstrations? Microsoft SQL Server installs have stopped installing sample databases since SQL Server 2005. However, Microsoft and a few others have developed several different free sample databases for SQL Server.

Here’s a list of various free sample databases you can use with SQL Server. I have also listed some helpful articles related to the free sample databases.
