Yes, this would be very nice indeed. Oracle is an extremely complex (overgrown)database with a ton of features, but it ships with a set of example schemas that show off a variety of features pretty well. I'm speaking of the set of schemas that try to model a company: OE, HR, etc. SQL Server ships with Northwind and pubs, as another example. But, we would need a good supplementary document that goes along with whatever materialized, perhaps guiding new users along in a tutorial manner. -- Michael D.
