Is there MySQL example database like in Oracle?

Question

Sometime ago, when I installed Oracle on Ubuntu, there was a sample database. Database contained Employees, Departments, ...

Now I wonder is there something similar for MySQL?

Well I don't really know how it is called, but when I tried to load example database (employee data) from MySQL the "load_employees.dump" file crashes, since it is to large to handle. — Eugene

As I mantioned earlier in my comment, there is realy realy large file in employees database "load_employees.dump". About 16Mb.

@Eugene, you should use the employee.sql file.

After downloading the Employee database from launchpad.net/test-db, follow the instructions from dev.mysql.com/doc/employee/en/employee.html.
