Sample Databases for Microsoft SQL Server 2008R2 November CTP

This release is dedicated to the sample databases that ship for Microsoft SQL Server 2008R2 November CTP. See Database Prerequisites for SQL Server 2008R2 for feature configurations required for installing the sample databases. See Installing SQL Server 2008R2 Databases for step by step installation instructions.

All of the AdventureWorks sample databases for SQL Server 2008R2 are included in the AdventureWorks2008R2_NovemberCTP.exe self extracting zip file. When this zip file is run, all content is unzipped to a temporary directory and an installer application is automatically started. This application copies the database scripts and data files to the directory specified, and optionally installs sample databases. If some databases cannot be installed, a brief explanation is displayed and a link is provided for more information about how to resolve the installation issues.

The analysis services databases must be deployed manually using SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio after installation is complete. Please see Installing Analysis Services Database for more details.

The latest installer which is now available has better support for instances with different version of SQL Server, and also includes both the AdventureWorks 2008R2 schemas and data files and the original AdventureWorks schemas and data files which shipped with SQL Server 2005. Installing both AdventureWorks families will ensure that all samples will work correctly and that you'll be able to explore the new features in SQL Server 2008.

Please give us your feedback in the samples forum! (Yes, even the complaints. We do try to respond to them.)

I have spent a week of wasted time trying to get adventure works to run on an XP SP3 with SQL Server 2008 enterprise edition, with Visual Studio 2008 SP1, I advise everyone to buy Apple Mac as Microsoft roduces products that are unreliable, do not run even on their own machines, and crash! How many time have i had to reinstall xp in my life i think the time wasted in my life is at least 1 year
by xervix on Dec 2 2009 at 12:42 PM

very very good

OK guys, this time you did it! Very easy install and it worked without any problems! Thank you. May I suggest that at the end of the install you show some note with extra instructions on how to finish SSAS installation - like open BIDS, specify server, do deploy, start SSMS connect to SSAS and check if your AS DB is there. Anyway, this type of install is perfect - thank you again!
