About this release
This release consolidates AdventureWorksDW databases for SQL Server 2012, 2008R2 and 2008 versions to one page. Each zip file contains an mdf database file and an ldf log file. This should make it easier to find and download AdventureWorksDW databases since all OLAP versions are on one page.

An AdventureWorksDW database can be installed by attaching the database, or using the CREATE DATABASE statement.

Unzip the database (mdf) file and log (ldf) file.
From Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, connect to a SQL Server instance.
Right click Databases.
Click Attach.
Click the Add button.
Locate the AdventureWorksDW database mdf file. For instance, AdventureWorksDW2012_Data.mdf.
Click the OK button on the Locate Database Files dialog window.
Click the OK button on the Attach Databases dialog window to attach the database.

CREATE DATABASE statement
From SQL Server Management Studio, execute the following T-SQL:

Example T-SQL

CREATE DATABASE AdventureWorksDW2012 ON (FILENAME = 'M:\Data\AdventureWorksDW2012_Data.mdf'), (FILENAME = 'L:\Tlogs\AdventureWorksDW2012_Log.ldf') FOR ATTACH;

Update as of 6/21: Tabular AMO 2012 is now available from https://tabularamo2012.codeplex.com

How to install the AdventureWorks2012 OLTP database

This release is dedicated to the Adventure Works sample databases and related samples that ship for Microsoft SQL Server 2012 RTM. This release uses the AdventureWorks2012 and AdventureWorksDW2012 sample databases. They have been upgraded to the SQL Server 2012 RTM version.

These databases cannot be installed on any version of SQL Server other than SQL Server 2012 RTM.

The AdventureWorks2012 OLTP database has two versions:

AdventureWorks2012_Data.mdf for case-insensitive collation
AdventureWorks2012CSData.mdf for case-sensitive collation

You can also download a DDL script and .csv files to install the database from script. Download AdventureWorks 2012 OLTP Script.zip to create the case-insensitive database or AdventureWorks 2012 CS OLTP Script.zip for the case-sensitive database. The dates in the database have remained circa 2008 dates.

Update as of 3/16:

We have added a lightweight version of AdventureWorks2012_Data.mdf called AdventureWorksLT2012_Data.mdf. This is a lightweight, case-insensitive version of the database. A lightweight version for the case-sensitive database and accompanying script will be available around 3/23.

For details on how to install the AdventureWorks2012 OLTP database from script, see SQL Server Samples Readme.

The AdventureWorksDW2012 data warehouse sample database in this release includes additional tables, columns, and images that support analysis Services tabular modeling and Power View samples and tutorials. For details on how to install the SQL Server Samples Readme.

Important:

To ensure proper working of the samples you must ensure that all databases and tabular models and samples belong to the same release version. For example, mixing the SQL Server 2012 RC0 with SQL Server 2012 RTM may cause issues.

Install the databases by running code or by using the SQL Server Management Studio user interface. For step by step instructions, see SQL Server Samples Readme.

Created Release: Cleanse and Curate Master Data (Jan 07, 2013)

DerrickvMSFT — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 03:57:01 GMT

This sample implements a simple EIM scenario by using SSIS, DQS, and MDS technologies together. The SSIS package in this sample cleanses the input data it reads from an Excel file against the Suppliers DQS knowledge base and then identifies and removes any duplicates in the data. SSIS includes the DQS Cleansing Transform component to invoke the cleansing functionality exposed by DQS. Currently, DQS does not expose matching functionality for SSIS to use, but you can use the Fuzzy Grouping Transform to identify duplicates in the data.

Updated Release: Adventure Works for Azure SQL Database (Dec 07, 2012)

scottkl — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 00:58:50 GMT

AdventureWorks Community Samples Databases for Azure SQL Database

Introduction

Cloud computing on the Azure platform offers the opportunity to easily add more data and compute capacity on the fly as business needs vary over time. Azure SQL Database is the relational data store for the Windows Azure platform. Although SQL Server and Azure SQL Database both communicate with clients via TDS, there are significant differences between SQL Server and Azure SQL Database. So the familiar AdventureWorks community sample database scripts will not work if executed against Azure SQL Database without modification.

Prerequisites

In order to install the AdventureWorks community sample databases into an Azure SQL Database server you will need the following:

An Azure SQL Database server at https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/pricing/free-trial/.
.NET Framework 4.0 which is available for free at MSDN.
Ensure that you have configured your Azure SQL Database Firewall to allow a connection to your Azure SQL Database server from your IP address.

SQL Server is not required in order to install the sample databases. However SQL Server Management Studio of SQL Server 2012 may be helpful for browsing and exploring Azure SQL databases.

Installation

If you have not already done so, download and extract the files from the zip file containing the AdventureWorks community sample databases for Azure SQL Database from CodePlex.

To install the Azure SQL Database version of the AdventureWorks2012 database:

Delete a previous AdventureWorks2012 sample database.
Start a command prompt window with Administrator privileges.
CD to the directory where the zip file was extracted.
CD to the AdventureWorks\ directory.
At the command prompt:

CreateAdventureWorksForSQLAzure.cmd servername username password

For example, if the assigned SQL Azure server is named b1gl33p, the administrator user name is Fred, and the password is Secret, the following would be typed:

CreateAdventureWorksForSQLAzure.cmd b1gl33p.database.windows.net Fred@b1gl33p Secret

The script will create the database, install the schema, and populate the database with sample data.
