Any of you data wranglers know of any large public datasets that are in formats importable into MS SQL (2008).

Grad school project for an elective (Why dear God why did I take a Database Design class in an IT Security program) and the project is to take a look at various SQL server settings and their effect on performance.To do that I figure I need something that is at least in the million records category so that the queries take a measurable amount of time.

So anyone know of any gigabyte or larger .csv's or the like floating around out there?

I'd just write a script to insert a ton of test records.

The consumer expenditure survey is a bitch.



I have a project using a move manageable data set on campaign donations.

The General Social Survey and the American National Elections Study are gigantic.
