    and I wanted to install "adventurework database" in that

    I already installed Sql server 2008 , but I am not able to find the that database anywhere

    Please tell me from where i can download the database

    & what is the procedure and required file i have to install on that ?

    Thanks

  • Katmai was the code name for SQL 2008 before it was release.

    You can download the database from: http://msftdbprodsamples.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=18407

    Thanks.

  • Please tell me the procedure to install that DB?

  • 1. Download the MSI from the Link I gave.

    2. Execute, it will extract files in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\..... Folder make sure you note down the path.

    3. Go in to SSMS.

    4. Right click on Databases, select Attach.

    5. Click Add.

    6. Navigate to the path noted down in step 2.

    7. Select the AdventureWorks_data.mdf file.

    8. Click OK.

    9. And Click Ok in main Attach window.

    Thanks.
