∟Installing AdventureWorksLT Sample Database

This section describes how to install AdventureWorksLT as a sample database on SQL Server.

To practice JDBC interface with SQL Server, you need some tables and data on the database server. Microsoft has a nice sample database called AdventureWorks available free for you to use. This tutorial shows you how to download and install AdventureWorks on your local SQL Server.

1. Go to the Adventure Works 2014 Sample Databases download page.

2. Download the "Adventure Works 2014 Full Database Backup.zip" file in C:\temp folder.

3. Download the "How to install Adventure Works 2014 Sample Databases.pdf" file. Read the "Install Adventure Works 2014 OLTP database from a backup" section.

4. Unzip "C:\temp\Adventure Works 2014 Full Database Backup.zip" and copy the extracted file AdventureWorks2014.bak to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\AdventureWorks2014.bak"

5. Run SQLCMD command line tool to restore AdventureWorks2014 database to the local SQL Server: 

C:\herong>"\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Client SDK
   \ODBC\110\Tools\Binn\SQLCMD.exe" 
   -S localhost\SQLEXPRESS -U sa -P HerongY@ng

1> RESTORE DATABASE AdventureWorks2014
2> FROM disk='C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQLEXPRESS
   \MSSQL\Backup\AdventureWorks2014.bak'
3> WITH MOVE 'AdventureWorks2014_data' TO 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft 
   SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\AdventureWorks2014.mdf',
4> MOVE 'AdventureWorks2014_Log' TO 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL 
   Server\MSSQL12.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\AdventureWorks2014.ldf',
5> REPLACE
6> GO

Processed 24248 pages for database 'AdventureWorks2014', file 
'AdventureWorks2014_Data' on file 1.
Processed 4 pages for database 'AdventureWorks2014', file 
'AdventureWorks2014_Log' on file 1.
RESTORE DATABASE successfully processed 24252 pages 
in 4.911 seconds (38.579 MB/sec).

When the restore process is completed, two physical database files are installed in the data directory: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA".
