A sample MySQL database with integrated test suite for testing applications and database servers.
What is Test database?
test_db is a realistic sample database containing approximately 300,000 employee records with 2.8 million salary entries, designed specifically for testing database-driven applications and MySQL server configurations. It provides a non-trivial dataset (167 MB) that simulates real-world data complexity while including intentional inconsistencies for data cleaning exercises.
Database administrators and developers who need to test MySQL applications, configurations, or data cleaning processes with a realistic, medium-sized dataset.
Developers choose test_db because it offers a ready-to-use, realistic relational database with integrated validation scripts, saving time compared to creating synthetic test data. Its unique selling point is the preservation of original data inconsistencies, providing practical exercises for data cleaning and integrity testing.
