Why we are different

Downloading our SQL Server movies or movie database

"How do I download the Movies database?" is one of the most frequently asked questions on our site!

We've created several versions of the Movies database over the years and thought it would be useful to collect the links for these in one place.

In the table below you can find links to download scripts to create SQL Server versions of the database:

Database

Description

Movies

The original database from 2007 with 260 films used in many of our earlier SQL, SSRS and VBA videos.

Movies with genres

The original 260 films with an extra table of genres.

Movies 2016

An expanded version of the original database with 1200 films and many renamed columns and tables.

Movies_02

A version updated in 2021 with 3700 films used in a variety of our training courses.

We also used Microsoft Access versions of the Movies database in some of our older VBA videos. You can find links to download these in the table below:

We hope this helps!

We don't offer any additional support for this, sadly!  Although we do offer a huge range of classroom and online SQL courses which will teach you how to get information out of this - or any other database.
