You can easily create a sample database to work with while becoming familiar with Crystal Reports. Once the database is created, you can connect to it with Crystal Reports and use the database to follow the examples in this manual. The examples demonstrate Crystal Reports basic capabilities.

prodb Sports2004 Sports2000
3. Press Enter. Prodb confirms that the database has been created:
