Question

Could someone please help me with this. I would like to install the AWDB sample database to use with SharePoint 2010 on my Win7 dev system.

So SQL 2008 Express. I have tried to download various things from codeplex, basically because I don't know the difference between the types. I have tried to look this up online in some blog posts but none of what I find/follow seem to work.

I think this is where I need to download what I need here, but I am not sure what I need exactly. At this point I am just trying to get the db in SQL right now, and I am maybe novice with sql at that point, but really just want to start experimenting with BCS in SP2010 anyway.

Any takers helping a rookie? Always appreciated! Thanks guys!

Solution

AdventureWorks2008R2-Full Database Backup.zip would be fine.

Then in SQL Express use:

restore database [database_name] from disk = 'backup path'
  with move 'AdventureWorks2008R2_Data' to '<database_data_file_path>\<filename>.mdf',
       move 'AdventureWorks2008R2_Log' to '<database_log_file_path>\<filename>.ldf'
