SQL SERVER 2008 Download and Install Samples Database AdventureWorks 2005 Detail Tutorial
August 10, 2008 by pinaldave Just a day ago I received question from reader who just installed SQL Server 2008. After installation user did not nd any samples database along with installation. User want to install samples database which he is very much used to. Sample database are now moved to Microsofts opensource site of Codeplex. Visit following link to visit the Sample Database page. CodePlex SQL Server Sample Database (h p://msftdbprodsamples.codeplex.com/Release /ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=34032)

There are two dierent method to setup sample database. 1) Running SQL Script 2) Restoring Database Backup. There are few common steps in both the process. We will see the common process rst and then after see both the method to setup sample database in detail. Common Steps: Download the .msi package from codeplex based on your operating system and your SQL Server version. I have used Adventureworks DB version of 2005 as that is what was question from user. If you download version of 2008 it can only be installed in version of 2008. Most of the images are self explanatory so I will let images explain most of the details.

Open SQL Server Management Studio and open the le instawdb from the location where sample database are extracted C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Samples \AdventureWorks OLTP.

Now make sure that you nd variable @data_path and change its values to the location of the database. This is very important task otherwise your database will be created with empty tables.
Once script is successfully ran, following resultset will be returned.
Check AdventureWorks database in object explorer.
Method 2 : Restoring Database Backup This method requires to create empty database initially and then after restoring it from backup. Please pay a;ention to radio bu;ons and checkbox on the screen as it is very important to select right options when restoring database.

If you want to install AdventureWorks database version 2008, the methods works ne. There are additional sample database are available in the same package and they can be installed in similar way. If you want to install Northwind database follow my previous article SQL SERVER 2005 NorthWind Database or AdventureWorks Database Samples Databases Part 2 (h p://blog.sqlauthority.com/2007/06/15/sql-server-2005-northwind-databaseor-adventureworks-database-samples-databases-part-2/).

5. on September 4, 2008 at 12:42 am | Reply Lisa Clary One thing to add to the docs is that lestreaming needs to be enabled. Im an oracle person, so not everything is intuitive, and I felt like an idiot for not being able to get the samples installed. So your site was a wonderful resource and the only set of instructions that got me through this (I followed option 2) Thanks much! lc
6. on September 4, 2008 at 6:30 pm | Reply Jens Thank you for this. I was so annoyed at the SQL server samples install. It was so stupid. Sometimes I wish there would be a message saying : WARNING : Installing the sample databases look easy, but is actually quite dicult. Do not expect a simple wizard. Even though it looks like you are just going to press intall on the MSI package, you actually have to build the database from TSQL an change programming code to match your se;ing after this wizard has installed the les. Also, this wizard will not help you at all trying to gure out what kind of les you should open or at all how to make sense of this install. The documentation is able to help you, but it is structured in such a way that 90% is irrelevant and it is almost impossible to discern wether what you will be reading is relevant. Do expect loss of hair during this install.

install then spent ages trying to gure out why empty. Eventually found a post with a link to this, should really make it a sticky on codeplex forum. Luckily I was balding before I started to try and install. On a serious note for any newbys something which should be so simple, quick and easy has seemingly been made very complex, hard and long when a guide similar to this is all thats needed.

This is a very good article, the key thing it did was get me to the correct download for 2008. However, this article and a few others fail to mention one thing: After installing SQL 2008 Express with Advanced Services or updating it to have Full Text Search, on a Windows XP workstation, dont forget to go to the SQL Server Conguration Manager and start the service. :) The error will come up that Full Text Search is not installed when the AW DB .msi le is run if the service is not running. I found this when trying to gure out why the AWDB would not install. I knew the dialog saying Full Text Search was not installed wasnt true: It should read when it IS installed Please Start the Full Text Service. In the process of also verifying that FileStream was enabled, I noted the service was not running. Indeed, during install I did note that the option was xed at Manual at install time. I gured the .msi package would start it and indeed this probably was the idea.

Anyhow, for anyone who needs the input who is also on an XP Workstation and does not have a separate box to run as a SQL Server start the ruddy service as above and the AWDB will then successfully install.

I initially had the same problem with developer. What I did was completely uninstall all editions of SQL (I had some Express versions in there I think). I even deleted any leftover folders after I uninstalled everything. Restart the computer. Once I did that, I created an account with just user privileges. I reinstalled SQL 2008 and made sure that for the full-text daemon login/password I put in my new user with limited privileges (this is during the installation process). I had no errors this time around and was able to install AdventureWorks successfully. Of course I probably did not need to uninstall everything, but I just wanted to make sure that I started with a clean slate. You could probably be able to do the same thing by simply creating a user with limited privileges and change the server se;ings from there. P.S I am using Windows XP Professional Diana

67. on October 15, 2010 at 6:03 am | Reply Andrey Umtsev Lots of people complain about Component/databaseselection.xaml line 78 position 3 problem. I had the same problem, just solved it by stopping all SQL Servers except the one where I supposed to install those examples. Actually I have SQL Server 2008 Express and SQL Server 2008 Standard. They where running under dierent accounts Network Service and LocalSystem accordingly. Maybe the problem was dierent accounts, I did not investigated this, I just stopped SQL Server 2008 Express and run installation again it worked. Thanks, Andrey

I am having a devil of a time with the 2008R2 version. There is not a AdventureWorks OLTP le on my AdventureWorks download. Is this part of the 2008R2 AdventureWorks? Am I missing something from the 2008R2 SQL Server? Thanks, Lisa
