sample databases?

Hello,

I'm in search of a sample database (along the lines of Northwind or AdventureWorks...
but not) that I can use in product demos. Preferably free, but if you know
of one that's also for sale that would be great too. Any ideas where I can
find something like this?

Thanks in advance,
Chris

I'm sure the guys on these DB's mailing list could furnish you what you
want....

Hi Lloyd,

What I'm actually looking for is the data itself, not the DBMS. It doesn't
matter how the data is stored because it's easily transferrable to various
other database systems... I'm just looking for some sort of cohesive data
for product demos, such as Northwind's food product company, or AdventureWorks'
bicycle company.

Any ideas?

thanks...Chris

What I meant is, I'm sure people of these DB, if you ask on the mailing
list, I'm sure, could provide such samples ;-)

Oops, let's try again, in correct english this time.
What I mean is you might ask on the mailing lists associated with these DBs,
I think you'll be more lucky there.
