I'm obviously not talking about a full solution, but just a good starting point for common applications for software architects. It could be for a CMS, e-commerce storefront, address book, etc. A UML diagram is not essential, but a table schema with data types in the least. Thanks!

            Check out the Library of Free Data Models from DatabaseAnswers.org -- might be a good starting point. I can't vouch for the quality, but there is a lot here...

            The mondial database. Is used for learning about DBMSs. If you need something quick and dirty to bang around.
