## What it is
Microsoft's official repository of code samples and sample databases for SQL Server, Azure SQL Database, Azure Synapse, and Azure SQL Edge. It includes downloadable sample databases like AdventureWorks and Wide World Importers plus feature demos with README instructions.

## Use cases
- download the AdventureWorks sample database for testing
- learn SQL Server features through working code samples
- get sample data for practicing SQL queries
- demo In-Memory OLTP performance
- find Azure SQL Database examples
- set up sample OLTP and OLAP databases for training

## When to choose
- you need realistic sample databases for SQL Server or Azure SQL
- you are learning or teaching Microsoft data platform features
- you need demo data for testing tools against SQL Server

## When to avoid
- you use non-Microsoft databases like PostgreSQL or MySQL
- you need production-ready code rather than samples
- you need comprehensive documentation rather than examples

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: database, developer-tools, documentation
- domain: databases, developer-tools, tutorials, cloud-computing
- platform: windows, cloud
- tags: sql-server, azure-sql, sample-databases, adventureworks, wide-world-importers, azure-synapse, microsoft, linux, docker
