+World
+=====
+
+World is a port of the example database available for MySQL on the mysql.com
+website.
+
+It is a simple 1:1 port and no attempt has been made to redesign the schema to
+better suit PostgreSQL.
+
+It is useful for comparison purposes and for learning how to execute simple
+queries and create simple tables, but is not particularly useful for exercising
+the advanced features of PostgreSQL or benchmarking.
+
+---
+(Taken from http://pgfoundry.org/projects/dbsamples/ on July 10, 2018.)
+
+The example database was loaded by hand and then backed up with the backup.sh
+script.  The resulting backup file was copied to this directory.
