Thread: Finding PostgreSQL sample data.
Hi all, in order to improve my analytic/window function skills, I went here (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/tutorial-window.html). Now, there appears to be some sort of sample data (empsalary), but I can't find the necessary table(s) for this. Is there somewhere I can get this data? I did Google "PostgreSQL sample database" but no joy. Finally, can anyone recommend any good site(s) for Analytic/Window functions - preferably with sample tables - personally, I find it much easier to relate to a concept if I can a) "eyeball" the data, and b) experiment further with my own queries/ideas. TIA and rgs, Paul...

The presention "Modern SQL" is worthwhile going through: http://modern-sql.com/slides Window functions start at slide 65 Thomas
