Sample Databases
We will use a few sample, starter databases in the class. We will use the databases in lectures,
homework assignments and exams. We will provide tutorials on how to install and configure the sample
databases.
The first example databases are:
-
The sample database for the book Database Systems Concepts, Seventh Edition. The website
associated with the book has the
installation scripts.
-
Classic Models: This database is part of an online
tutorial. We provide a copy of the create and load script
You do not need to manually create a database.
The database script creates a database named classicmodels and loads the data.
-
Lahmans Baseball Database: This dataset
is a widely used sample database for analysis projects. We will provide load scripts.
-
IMDB: This dataset
is a subset of the information available at the
IMDB website. We will provide load scripts.
