Scott, Tiger, Emp, Dept... demobld.sql

PDVBVFeb 21 2026

(apoilogies if done before, but search didnt seem to yield…)

In 26ai, I miss the famous DEMOBLD.SQL, which used to be under $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/demo.

(it may have been gone since a few versions back, I didnt check..)

There is a replacement in ../rdbms/admin/utlsampl.sql.

Is there any reason why this file has moved and nearly dissapeared ?

And .. If I may Suggest.. Why not deliver scott/"flyingTIGERscrambled@#$%^&*" pre-installed (and locked). At least in the demo-containers (looking at you Gerald ?). Emp/Dept was the smallest and easiest to use demo since the very dawn of time, and I still use it.

In my case, it is of course part of the entrypoint-initdb.d. But when using other ppls installations, I begin to miss it.
