Pub sample database

Question

Please excuse me if this is the wrong forum for this question.

I heard of a sample database called Pub. Does anyone know about it? Is it an SQL Server sample database that, unlike AdventureWorks, doesn't require SQL Server's Full-text Search capability to install? That's what I need.

Answer 1

Pubs is rather old - SQL 2000.  AdventureWorks is a much better example.  Try downloading SQL 2005's AdventureWorks database instead:

It doesn't require full text search.

Of curiosity, why can't you install AdventureWorks2008?  Are you using SQL 2005?

 Bob, there's a copy of Northwind and pubs in Code Gallery that I put up there to make it easier for people to get them. HTH!
