1. Introduction

The Oracle Database Documentation and other resources use these sample schemas to demonstrate the capabilities of Oracle Database and the SQL and PL/SQL languages. You can download and install these schemas in your database environments to learn about Oracle Database functionality or try the examples in the documentation. These schemas are provided for free.

The following schemas are included:

Archived schemas

Archived schemas are provided for reference for examples in the documentation but are no longer actively maintained.

2. Installation

  1. Go to the latest (or appropriate) release of the sample schemas and download the Source code (zip) file.
  2. Extract the downloaded .zip file.
  3. Inside the sample schemas main directory, navigate to the sample schema directory that you want to install and run the <schema_name>_install.sql script. (For more information about installing a schema, see the README.md file in the schema directory.)
  4. Review the installation verification at the end of the installation or in the generated installation log file.

Example

To install the HR schema, complete the following steps:

  1. cd into the human_resources folder.
  2. Connect to the target database with a privileged user.
  3. Run the hr_install.sql script and provide inputs for the prompts.
