    Sample Database

    I am trying to install a copy of our actual database onto a computer that is not connected to our server to use as a sample database.  I find the sample database provided by Blackbaud to be woefully inadequate.  I have never worked with a database, and I've worked with some cheezy databases in my day, where you couldn't copy your own data quickly and easily into a sample database...but I digress.   Any how, it seems to install just fine, then the installation process gets to the very last step (I think registering may be the last step) and instead of finishing, the message "rolling back" comes up and the installer uninstalls everything that it had previously installed.  Can anyone tell me what the problem might be?

    I would contact BB help and ask them. I have worked with clients who have copied their database for training purposes, but I am not exactly sure how it was done. Good luck!

    Case - # 9934038 check this case # our network administrator set up a copy of production database as a test one on a different server other than the one the actual database is on. It worked for us.
