mySQL: Sample Databases

 How do I load customer agnostic sample databases into mySQL?


The issue with demos and/or general purpose query learning is that it requires data. Sometimes, different types of data.


For example, for general purpose query learning, the enron dataset is amazing. Especially for windowing functions, too, where having a large number of rows in a single table is what you want. I found it here:

However, for other purposes, especially those with more of a business flavor such as aggregates and groups, something like the Northwind database is ideal.

The GitHub user jpwhite has published the Northwind sample database as a set of mySQL scripts.
