Appendix B. The sales_demo and superstores_demo Databases

In addition to the stores_demo database that is described in detail in Appendix A. The stores_demo Database, IBM Informix products include the following demonstration databases:

• The sales_demo database illustrates a dimensional schema for data-warehousing applications.
• The superstores_demo database illustrates an object-relational schema.

This appendix discusses the structures of these two demonstration databases.

For information on how to create and populate the demonstration databases, including relevant SQL files, see the IBM Informix: DB-Access User's Guide. For conceptual information about demonstration databases, see the IBM Informix: Database Design and Implementation Guide.
