pubs2 and pubs3 Sample Databases

The pubs2 and pubs3 sample databases are provided as a learning tool for SAP ASE.

The pubs2 sample database is used for most of the examples in the SAP ASE documentation, except for examples, where noted, that use the pubs3 database. The sample databases are intended for training purposes only, and installing them is optional. Do not install them in an SAP ASE production environment.

For information about installing pubs2 and pubs3, see the installation guide for your platform. For information about the contents of these sample databases, see the Transact-SQL Users Guide.

• Maintaining the Sample Databases
  The sample databases include a “guest” user login that allows access to the database by any authorized SAP ASE user.
• pubs2 Image Data
  SAP ASE includes a script for installing image data in the pubs2 database (pubs3 does not use the image data).
