Where can I download Northwind Database sample for SQL Server 2005?

[NarcisoLimboFilipino]

I have Visual Studio 2008 installed together with SQL Server Compact edition but there is no database installed. What will I do? Where to get a copy of sample database and how to create my own database? Please help me? Thanks....<br />

It will be available on Microsoft's website, I'm pretty sure but it should be available on your CD.

Microsoft doesn't openly distribute the Northwind database any longer, but you can still download a version for SQL 2000 from Microsoft at the following link

Additionally, CodePlex is now somewhat the "official" source for SQL sample databases. You can download these at the following link

Good luck!
