9MIS 2008 / Merging Two Data Collections: Lessons Learned from the CCD-EDEN Merger Oregon EDEN Example Database The Oregon Department of Education has created an example which creates a working database on a SQL Server 2005 local SQLEXPRESS instance. (This script can be modified to be installed on any SQL Server box.) This is a T-SQL script and should be run by a Database Administrator. This script creates a database called “EDEN” with all Support Tables and Meta-Data necessary for EDEN submissions. Contains one example build procedure with source table for creating the N36 report. Object definitions and instructions for how to do the example are included in the script. Download the zipped T-SQL script at
