Creating Sample Data

• Sample data can be added only on an empty database.

• To create sample data, you can either empty your playground database or create a new database.

• If you plan to use multiple nodes and/or encryption in production, we recommend installing your playground database in a similar environment.

To create Sample Data:

1. Tasks tab
   Click to see task options.
2. Create Sample Data

   Click the Create button to generate the Northwind sample data.
   Various collections, their documents and sample indexes will be created in your database.

1. Documents tab
   Click to open documents options.
2. Document Collections
   This is the first part of the auto-generated document Id string.
   • In code, the Id string is all lowercase (e.g. employees/5-A).

   • RavenDB's default dynamic auto-indexes are managed automatically in response to queries.
   • Static Indexes can also be set up manually.
2. List of Indexes
   Select to see the list of current indexes.
3. Query this index.
   A general query automatically determines the best index to query and creates new ones if a good index doesn't exist for that query.
   Still, you can query specific indexes via the List of Indexes.
4. Edit this index.
   Indexes can be modified via Studio.
