Generating SQL scripts for the

Chinook Database
R EQUIRED T OOLS

Microsoft Visual Studio 2012

D ATABASE S ERVERS

SQL Server Express (already installed with Visual Studio).

Oracle Database 11g Express Edition (XE).
MySQL 5.5 Community Server: Choose all default settings when installing, but on the
MySQL Server Instance installer make sure to select:
 o Best Support For Multilingualism
o Include Bin Directory in Windows PATH
Download the latest source code from here.
Open the Solution file ChinookDatabase.sln in Visual Studio.
If you want to use the data from your own iTunes library, then replace the
fileChinookDatabase\DataSources\_Xml\Source\iTunes Music Library.xml with
your version.
o In app.config, verify that the connection strings are matching any changes
you made to username/password above. Also, the Oracle connection string uses
the Express Edition, e.g. Data Source=xe. So, change it if you are using a
different Oracle edition.
On the Solution Explorer, click on your Solution and then click on the Transform All
Templates button at the Solution Explorer buttons bar.
Rebuild the solution.
Verify that your database servers are properly set:
o The batch file DataSources\CreateMySql.bat uses the root user with the
password p4ssw0rd.
o The generated Oracle SQL script creates a new user chinook, with the
password p4ssw0rd. You might want to change this to use a different
user/password.
Create the database using the appropriate scripts.
Run the database tests in ChinookDatabase.Test to make sure your database was
created properly.

Download and extract the zip file from the Downloads tab. It is provided one or more SQL
script file for each database vendor supported. You can run these SQL scripts with your
preferred database tool.

For SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL and SQLite, there are available batch files that will execute
the respective SQL script(s). These batch files use the database server command tool
(mysql.exe for MySQL, sqlcmd.exe for SQL Server, sqlplus.exe for Oracle,
and sqlite3.exe for SQLite). If you are using Windows Vista/2008/7, it is recommended to
open a Command Prompt window as Administrator in order to run these batch files.

For embedded databases, SQLite and SQL Server Compact, it is also provided the embedded
database files in addition to the SQL script files.
