For those of you who attended SQL PASS or other recent Microsoft-related technical conferences, you may have seen our new BI “Contoso” demo. Well, the data that powers it has now been made available for download. You’ll find both an OLTP DW and an OLAP cube for your data-munching pleasure.

 I haven’t had time to actually test-drive the dataset, but it is supposed to have millions of rows and be very real-world. Someone please download this thing and tell me how much data I have to look forward to playing with!??

Please?
