The Example environment wizard performs two tasks. The first is to create a development user. The development user is used by a programmer who wants to create objects in a Mimer SQL database. The second task is to set up the Mimer SQL example tables and users.

The example environment, MIMER_STORE, contains data used by the fictional business GoodiesRUs. GoodiesRUs sells music, available in various formats and books. An item can be available in various formats, for example a music album may be available in audio CD, cassette, DVD audio, and vinyl. We have created the MIMER_STORE environment to demonstrate how Mimer SQL provides everything from simple to sophisticated functionality. The examples are used throughout the Mimer SQL documentation and provide numerous examples of both simple and advanced features in the system.
