This download provides scripts for creating the Northwind and pubs sample databases for use with SQL Server 2000 and MSDE 2000. The scripts have been updated to remove the guest account to improve security. The pubs installation script has been updated to include all of the data for the database, eliminating the requirement to run separate jobs to add data after creating pubs.
