Open Dental Forum

Hi!

I just installed the latest demo version in a brand new VMWare Virtual Machine: Windows XP SP2, DotNet2 Framework.

Everything seems to be working except that the promised demo database with sample patients is not there.

Only the "blank" folder is in "C:\Program Files\OpenDentalInstaller\Release\Databases" and the "Choose Databse" form from within OD only offers the opendental, mysql and information_schema databases

Where can I get my hands on some sample data so I can demo to some potential customers. I need some amount of data to be be able to really show off the benefits of the reporting engine.

Many thanks in advance

Well, during the last year, we've only released on 'blank' database with the trial version rather than the way we used to release a 'usa' database and a 'demo' database. The most recent 'blank' database is minus the 8 or so patients that were in the trial version from a few months ago because it was hard to upgrade databases with clutter in them. We are again moving towards putting together another demo database that can be installed side by side with the blank database.

Great !

Btw, have you given a thought by any chance of producing the demo data with a database data generator? It could certainly help speed up the process and by the same token enable on to generate a whole lot of sample data. It could even help plan the choice of hw for capacity.

Anyways, thanks in advance for the effort Dr.

Looking forward to get my hands on the next demo database!
