When describing products that interact with databases, for example, it is good to have Northwind 2007 installed on your workstation. Recently I realized how useful having a sample database such a Northwind 2007, really is when I discovered that I simply did not want to take the time to create a sample database. The well-known MS-Access sample Northwind database is used in a variety of publications as the sample database of choice when an example database is needed.Īccording to Microsoft, it is a “ a complete tracking application that contains predefined tables, forms, reports, queries, macros, and relationships.”
