AdventureWorkdDW Database

  • Hi,

    I am looking to practice SSIS, SSAS, and SSRS and for that I need AdventureWorkdDW Database downloaded. I searched entire Microsoft site and googled it tirelessly but no luck. In Microsoft website there is a link to 'http://codeplex.com/SqlServerSamples' but this takes me to SQL Server 2008 RC0 Product samples which I dont want. And, when I go to 'http://www.codeplex.com/MSFTDBProdSamples/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4004' web site this gives me the following downloads which does not seem to me 'AdventureWorksDW' database. So, can you please where do I go to get this sample file? Or, from the list below, which file should I pick to download? Also, I dont have SP2 with my SQL Server 2005 so when I download SP2, do I need to do something different? I appreciate your help on this. Thank you.

  • From this page download:

    AdventureWorksDB.msi - OLTP database

    AdventureWorksBI.msi - OLAP Database

    http://www.codeplex.com/MSFTDBProdSamples/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4004

  • Sorry that wasnt enough info.

    Install those to files on your SQL server, attach the databases.

    Also download SqlServerSamples.msi from the following address:

    http://www.codeplex.com/SqlServerSamples/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4000

    Install and find sample of SSIS, SSRS and SSAS projects in the 'Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Samples' folder.

    And it would be best to install SP2 to get these projects to work as they should.

  • Thank you very much for your response. I downloaded those 3 files from the two links you provided. I went into Program files and folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Samples and I see 7 folders (Analysis Services, Engine, Integrated Samples, Integrations Services, Notification Services, Replication, and Reporting Services). Now, when I go to for example Analysis Services folder I find Administrator, DataMining, Programmability, and Tutorils folders. I find similar for SSIS and SSRS. I am confused here...what folder should I click and how do I go about nevigating to find the file I downloaded to install those files. I am sorry if this sounds like spoon feeding but I really tried my options and with every step I am learning my way around. I appreciate your help with this. By the way, I am going to install SP2 as well. Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you.
