I need some test data for a MySQL utility that I am creating. Does anybody know where I can find one that has a similiar (if not more) amount of data as Northwind for SQL Server?

+3  A: 

One option would be to export the actual Northwind DB to MySQL. http://www.geeksengine.com/article/export-access-to-mysql.html

FlightStats seems to be another one you could use: http://flightstats.us/about.php

The purpose of this application is to demonstrate MySQL 4.1 and some of its new and more advanced features. As MySQL matures, it is the hope that this application will also mature. Currently, the following features are used in some meaningful way:

  • Joins
  • Subqueries
  • Subqueries in the FROM clause
  • Query cache
