Is there a “Northwind” type database available for MySQL?

Question

I need some test data for a MySQL utility that I am creating. Does anybody know where I can find one that has a similiar (if not more) amount of data as Northwind for SQL Server?

Answer 1

UPDATE:

This is an answer for about 4 years ago and links were dead because of time, I'll put new links as soon as I find some.

Answer 2

You may download it from here: http://dev.wavemaker.com/forums/?q=node/4721

Answer 3

One option would be to export the actual Northwind DB to MySQL. http://www.geeksengine.com/article/export-access-to-mysql.html

FlightStats seems to be another one you could use: http://flightstats.us/about.php

The purpose of this application is to demonstrate MySQL 4.1 and some of its new and more advanced features. As MySQL matures, it is the hope that this application will also mature. Currently, the following features are used in some meaningful way:

• Joins
• Subqueries
• Subqueries in the FROM clause
• Query cache

Answer 4

Here's a version of Northwind for MySQL on GitHub. The column names have been slightly altered to fit the MySQL standard.

Answer 5

Yes. Can be found here, for instance.

Answer 6

I have tested quite all the dumps available in this thread with latest MariaDB but all of them were returning warnings or errors

searching out there I have found this

http://www.dotnettwitter.com/2011/05/northwind-database-scripts-for-sql.html

so far this is the unique Northwind for MariaDB MySQL that works like a charm

no errors, no warnings,

I link it since it is not listed in this thread

There is a sample database provided by MySQL: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/employee/en/index.html

Answer 9

There's a link at the beginning of the article where you can grab an SQL script with structure and data:

Answer 10

I know this question is from a long time ago, but I needed specifically Northwind on MySQL a while ago. So I migrated the structure and data on the current version of Northwind in Codeplex to MySQL.

In case anyone else needs it, it can be found here

PD: I'm planning to migrate Adventureworks, Pubs and Contoso soon.
