Ask HN: Good datasets for studying RDBMS in depth

3 pointsby antoaravinthover 7 years ago
Hello All,<p>I have a fundamental knowledge on RDMS and have done data modelling in Postgresql (to some extend). I could able to make sense of what is Normalization, Joins, locks (specifically optimistic locking) etc.<p>I have learnt all these in my side projects mainly, or in production where the data isn&#x27;t much huge. I haven&#x27;t got any chance to debug a slow query or even select Indexing strategies etc which I guess is really important to understand RDMBS or postgresql in general.<p>I wanted to know are there any open source datasets, which will helpful for self studying or even debugging slow queries &#x2F; seeing their indexing strategies etc.<p>Any answer would be appreciated.

See<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.microsoft.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;download&#x2F;details.aspx?id=52430" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.microsoft.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;download&#x2F;details.aspx?id=524...</a><p>and other data generators for various TPC tasks. These usually have a knob you can turn to scale the size up or down.
