Oracle sample tables for SQLServer

 

EDIT 3/21/2012:

I have put a revised version of the Oracle sample tables post on my other blog about SQL Server and technical stuff. You might want to have a look at the URL below.

Thanks for visiting!

————————————————–

Oracle has some sample tables viz. EMP, DEPT, BONUS, SALGRADE, DUMMY etc. which are helpful while practicing SQL commands. Oracle provides the scripts to create these tables in the name of DEMOBLD.SQL which can be found in the <OracleHome>\sqlplus\demo folder of your Oracle installation or online at this link. (EDIT 3/21/2012: This link is dead now!)

I have made some changes to the script to run it on MS SQL Server. It might prove useful if you don’t have access to an Oracle installation but want want to practice SQL commands. Of course, MS SQL Server does not support all the SQL syntax as supported by Oracle, but the tables can be handy in some cases.

The SQL Server compatible script is below. Copy and paste in Query Analyzer to run. The basic difference is in the datatypes and the datetime convert function.

/* DESCRIPTION
-- This script creates the sample tables in the current
-- MS SQL Server database and inserts corresponding data.
-- The data is same as the demonstration tables of Oracle.
--
-- USAGE
-- Copy/Paste this script in Query Analyzer and select the database
-- from the drop down list where you want to create these tables.
-- Select EXECUTE from the QUERY menu or simply press F5 to run the script.
--
-- WARNING
-- The script drops any tables with the same name so be sure that
-- any existing tables with same names do not have any critical data. */
