Hi I need some sample SQL Server Employee database with data such as id, surname, name, age, adress etc. It must be quite big, I search with google, but I don't find any good sample. Can any body help ?

A: 

The old Northwind database has Employee table but that's quite small.

You may find it a challenge to find such a database, privacy concerns prevent most publication of personal data such as you require. You may find one using pseudo-data, that is data that looks like what you want but is not about 'real' people. But you will probably find it easier to generate your own such pseudo-data. If you take this approach you can be sure that the data you generate meets your requirements too.

The only tool I can think of is Red Gate Data Generator.

Otherwise, you'd be looking at someone's actual data or expecting someone to provide such a tool free of charge.

This might not be Employee based, but is definately worth having a look

if you have access to Microsoft Visual studio for Database professionals it has a data generator built in which you can use link text

Also the AdventureWorks db also has a Employee table i think.
