Running Setup to Install AdventureWorks Sample Databases and Samples

  • Artikel

The AdventureWorks (OLTP), AdventureWorksDW (data warehouse), and Adventure Works DW (analysis services) sample databases, as well as the companion samples, are not installed by default in SQL Server 2005. You can download these from SQL Server 2005 Samples and Sample Databases at the Microsoft Download Center, or you can use the following procedures to install the sample databases and samples during or after setup. Additional instructions for deploying the Adventure Works DW analysis services project are also provided.

Note

The following procedures do not apply to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition or SQL Server Compact Edition. To download AdventureWorks for these editions, see SQL Server 2005 Samples and Sample Databases at the Microsoft Download Center.

Important

When the AdventureWorks and AdventureWorksDW sample databases are installed, the collation used is SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS and not the collation selected for the instance of SQL Server. To change the collation of a sample database to match the server collation, drop the database and recreate it from the installation script. For more information, see Reinstalling Sample Databases from Script.

Installation During Setup

To install the sample databases and companion samples during setup, use the following instructions.

  1. On the Components to Install page, select Workstation components, Books Online and development tools.

  2. Click Advanced and then expand Documentation, Samples, and Sample Databases.

  3. Select Sample Code and Applications.

  4. Expand Sample Databases and then select the sample databases to install.

    Note

    The OLAP database (Adventure Works DW) cannot be installed unless the data warehouse (AdventureWorksDW) database is selected for installation. The analysis services project, Adventure Works DW must be deployed before the Adventure Works DW analysis services database can be accessed.

  5. To complete the installation of the samples, after setup, perform one of the following steps:

    1. From the Start menu, click All Programs, click Microsoft SQL Server 2005, click Documentation and Tutorials, click Samples, and then click Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Samples.
    2. Alternatively, using Windows Explorer, navigate to <drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Samples\ and double-click SqlServerSamples.msi to launch the installer.

    Important

    The samples are installed to <drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Samples. Be sure to read and follow the installation instructions in the Readme files that accompany the samples you want to use. For a list of samples, see Samples.

Installation After Setup

If you did not install the sample databases or samples during the initial setup of SQL Server 2005, you can install them later.

Important

You cannot use the following procedure to re-create a sample database that has been deleted. To re-create a deleted sample database, reinstall the database from the installation script. For more information, see Reinstalling Sample Databases from Script.
