I have done a course in data warehousing and data mining, and I am interested in going the Cognosbusiness intelligence way. However, I need to practice on data which I cannot find. How do I get myself aquainted better with Cognos? I need sample data to work on. Where do I find it ?
安装示例后，您将在 Cognos Web 门户中看到所有这些内容（包/报告/多维数据集/仪表板/指标报告/警报），所有内容均已预先构建并准备好供您运行/查看和研究它是如何完成的，您可以将 GoSales 数据源用作您的游乐场。
I'm assumming you have access to the product. The absolute best way to learn the product is to leverage the Cognos Examples that are an optional component to install(Comes with Cognos).
The examples not only install the GoSalesDb which is their sample data but the examples also have best practices Framework Models/Cubes/Dashboards/Reports built on this data so you can see how the tool is meant to function.
Everything Cognos/IBM trains on almost for power users/content will use this same sample engine for the most part to teach from.
The examples use to be a joke in early releases but now they are seriously polished and make it easy to not only learn the product but see techniques and approaches that have taken people years to learn.
When the examples are installed you will see in the Cognos Web Portal all this content (Packages/Reports/Cubes/Dashboards/Metric Reprots/Alerts) everything all pre-built and ready for you to run/review and study how it was done and you have the GoSales datasource to use as your playground.
Why not just use the sample databases that come WITH Cognos 8? If you have access to a Cognos 8 BI installation, you can install the Great Outdoor sample databases which also come with Framework Manager (FM) models and packages for Cognos 8 deployment.

尝试http://www.data.gov。他们拥有大量各种形状和大小的大型数据集。
还有 Stack Overflow 种子...
Try http://www.data.gov. They have tons of large datasets of all shapes and sizes.
There's also the Stack Overflow torrent...
Microsoft 拥有大量可重用的 SQL Server 示例数据。它比 Cognos 附带的官方样本要好得多。

您可以将 SQL Server 的免费版本之一与 Cognos 结合使用。
Microsoft has a great set of reusable sample data for SQL Server. It's much better than the sample gobbledygook that comes with Cognos.

You can use one of the free versions of SQL Server with Cognos.
我假设您有权访问该产品。学习该产品的绝对最佳方法是利用 Cognos 示例，它是一个可选安装组件（随 Cognos 一起提供）。
这些示例不仅安装了作为示例数据的 GoSalesDb，而且还具有基于此数据构建的最佳实践框架模型/多维数据集/仪表板/报告，以便您可以了解该工具的工作原理。
Cognos/IBM 几乎针对高级用户/内容的所有培训都将使用相同的示例引擎来进行教学。
这些示例在早期版本中曾经是一个笑话，但现在它们经过了认真的打磨，不仅可以轻松学习产品，还可以了解人们花了多年时间学习的技术和方法。

查看 Webcontent 文件夹的示例目录。或者让您的 Cognos 管理员进行设置。
Look in the samples directory of the Webcontent folder. Or have your Cognos administrator set it up.
为什么不直接使用 Cognos 8 附带的示例数据库呢？如果您有权访问 Cognos 8 BI 安装，则可以安装 Great Outdoor 示例数据库，该数据库还附带 用于 Cognos 8 部署的 Framework Manager (FM) 模型和包。
有关安装示例的说明可以在 IBM 站点上找到：安装 IBM Cognos 8 示例。

Instructions on installing the samples can be found on the IBM site: Install the IBM Cognos 8 Samples .
