Looking for Teaching Database
I am looking for a large enterprise teaching database for a group of students taking DBA courses at a private IT education institute I work for.
The database has to have sufficient number of tables, indexes, and other objects as well as data volume so as to represent as close as possible to a real world enterprise database.
Data volume is important. We want to be able to introduce these students to the reality of large enterprise data volumes and the impact of high volume queries, by concurrent users, on database performance.
Bottom line here is that we need a database that will force the student to deal with administration, tuning, backup, etc in a realistic manner.
Does anybody have such a database that we can use or know of a location that teaching databases and data can be downloaded.
Our intention is to not provide them the database but to create a set of specs form the database we get and have studetns model and desing their own versions of it. They will then import the data we provide.
Thank you for any and all assistance you can provide.
