A SQL script and Docker Compose setup that populates a PostgreSQL database with the classic Northwind sample data. It provides an easy way to spin up a demo database locally, optionally with PgAdmin for browsing.

Use cases

• populate a postgres database with the northwind sample data
• set up a demo database for learning SQL
• test SQL queries against a realistic sample schema
• spin up postgres with sample data using docker compose
• practice joins and aggregations on example tables
• set up a local database for tutorials and courses

When to choose

• you need a well-known sample dataset for PostgreSQL
• you want a quick Docker-based demo database with PgAdmin
• you are teaching or learning SQL with realistic data

When to avoid

• you need sample data for MySQL, SQL Server, or another engine without adaptation
• you need production-grade or large-scale benchmark data
• you want an actively maintained application rather than a static SQL script
