I'm trying to upload Adventure Works 2014 into SQL Server Express 2014 but I can't find the folder titled data. It doesn't seem to exist.
The two files extracted from the zip we just downloaded are:
- AdventureWorks2012_Data.mdf
- AdventureWorks2012_Log.ldf
The data and log files need to be moved into your SQL Server databases folder. Depending on the version you downloaded and if it was 32-bit or 64-bit, you will want to find the DATA folder that resides in your SQL Server instance folder. In my case, it’s here:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA
