SAP DB Sample Database
(tgz Package | zip File)

Here you will find explanations on how to create and test your own SAP DB sample database.

Once you have downloaded and installed the relevant software package you can create your sample database. Use the scripts for creating or dropping a sample database which are part of the download package. When using them, suit them to your installation path.

If you execute the script for creating a database, a sample database with only some dynamic parameters and a small footprint will be created. Then you can change the database configuration according to your interest and experience.
