I had installed SQL Server Express before I installed SQL Server Developer Edition. I found this out the hard way (of course). OK, the DB has been created from the BAK restore file. Partitioning is used to improve manageability of the fact tables, whichīelow are some screen shots from the WideWorldImporters database: In-Memory OLTP is used to improve the performance of the ETL process. PolyBase is used to correlate data in the local database with a public data.Improve query performance for the fact tables.

Below are the features of the database:Ĭlustered columnstore indexes are used to reduce the storage footprint and The transactional database WideWorldImporters, but it uses a schema that is specifically The data in this database is derived from WideWorldImportersDW is the main database for data warehousing and analytics Partitioning is used to improve the manageability of large tables.įeatures of the WideWorldImportersDW Sample Database in SQL Server 2016 (TVPs) and to optimize ingestion of sensor data.Ĭlustered columnstore indexes are used to reduce the storage footprint of In-Memory OLTP is used to optimize the performance of table-valued parameters JSON is used to enable AJAX calls to some of the key tables, and also toĮxtend the relational schema to record such things as application settings andĭynamic Data Masking are used to secure data.

Restored the WideWorldImporters-Full.bak and WideWorldImportersDW-Full.bak database.Īs a next step, let's review some sample code to complete the restore process. I am using SQL Server 2016 evaluation edition and have WideWorldImportersDW-Standard.bacpac - This sample database is a BACPAC fileįormat and can be used as an Azure OLAP sample database. WideWorldImporters-Standrad.bacpac - This sample database is a BACPAC file formatĪnd can be used as a Azure OLTP sample database.Ģ. WideWorldImportersDW-Standard - This sample database is for OLAP needs for SQL Standard edition and useful for OLTP environments. WideWorldImporters-Standard.bak - This sample database is for SQL Server 2016 Processing (OLAP) and is useful for SQL Server enterprise, developer and evaluation WideWorldImportersDW-Full.bak - This sample database is for Online Analytical WideWorldImporters-Full.bak - This sample database is for SQL Server enterprise,ĭeveloper and evaluation edition and can be useful for OLTP and real time analytics You can also download these databases by clicking on the database name below. Let's get a basic understanding of these databases. In SQL Server 2016, Microsoft has provided a version of the sample database according This is applicableįor both on-premises SQL Server instances and SQL Azure. There are new sample databases introduced, WideWorldImportersĪnd WideWorldImportersDW for both OLTP and OLAP environments. Microsoft has taken a leap forward with SQL Server 2016 with its mission criticalĬapabilities and features.
