The Example Database

---

An example database is delivered with Mimer SQL. It is owned by the ident MIMER_STORE and contains various objects to be able to describe and demonstrate functionality in Mimer SQL. For details about the example database see the feature description `The Example Database' on the Mimer SQL developer site,

The example database is based on a store that sells music and books, available in various formats, for example a music album may be available in Audio CD, Cassette, DVD Audio, and Vinyl. The store also has a web site, through which users can place orders. SQL stored procedures (SQL/PSM) support various aspects of the business logic.
