In this project, we provide you with the MySQL version of The Oracle Database Sample Schemas that provides a common platform for examples in each release of the Oracle Database. The sample database is also a good database for practicing with SQL, especially MySQL. The detailed description of the database can be found on: http://luna-ext.di.fc.ul.pt/oracle11g/server.112/e10831/diagrams.htm#insertedID0. The four schemas are a set of interlinked schemas. This set of schemas provides a layered approach to complexity: A simple schema Human Resources (HR) is useful for introducing basic topics. An extension to this schema supports Oracle Internet Directory demos; A second schema, Order Entry (OE), is useful for dealing with matters of intermediate complexity. Many data types are available in this schema, including non-scalar data types; The Online Catalog (OC) subschema is a collection of object-relational database objects built inside the OE schema; The Product Media (PM) schema is dedicated to multimedia data types; The Sales History (SH) schema is designed to allow for demos with large amounts of data. An extension to this schema provides support for advanced analytic processing. The HR schema consists of seven tables: regions, countries, locations, departments, employees, jobs, and job_histories. This book only implements HR schema, since the other schemas will be implemented in the next books.
