The DB–Access utility, which is provided with the database
server products, includes one or more of the following demonstration
databases:
- The stores_demo database
illustrates a relational schema with information about a fictitious
wholesale sporting-goods distributor. Many examples in IBM Informix manuals
are based on the stores_demo database.
- The sales_demo database illustrates a
dimensional schema for data- warehousing applications. For conceptual
information about dimensional data modeling, see the IBM Informix: Database Design and Implementation Guide.
- The superstores_demo database illustrates
an object-relational schema. The superstores_demo database
contains examples of extended data types, type and table inheritance,
and user-defined routines.
For information about how to create and populate the demonstration databases, see
the IBM Informix: DB–Access User's Guide. For descriptions of the
databases and their contents, see the IBM Informix: Guide to SQL Reference.
The scripts that you use to install the demonstration databases
reside in the $INFORMIXDIR/bin directory
on UNIX platforms and in the %INFORMIXDIR%\bin directory
in Windows environments.
