The sample databases, which contain fictitious information, are designed to help you learn how to use SAP ASE. The sample databases are intended for training purposes only. Do not install them in an SAP ASE production environment.
| File Name | Description | 
|---|---|
| installpubs2 | Installs the pubs2 sample database. This
                        database contains data that represents a publishing operation. Use this
                        database to test your server connections and to learn Transact-SQL. Most of
                        the examples in the SAP ASE documentation query the pubs2 database. Note: 
                            The master
                                device size should be at least 30MB to install the full pubs2 database, including the
                                    image data.

| installpubs3 | Installs the pubs3 sample database. This
                        updated version of pubs2 uses
                        referential integrity. In addition, its tables are slightly different than
                        the tables used in pubs2. Where noted,
                        the SAP ASE documentation uses the pubs3 database in its examples. | 
| installpix2 | Installs the image data that is used with the
                            pubs2 database. Run the installpix2 script after you run installpubs2.The image data requires 10MB—there are six pictures, two each in the PICT, TIFF, and Sun raster file formats. Run installpix2 script only to use or test the image datatype. SAP does not supply any tools for displaying image data; you must use appropriate window graphics tools to display the images after you have extracted them from the database. |
