    Keep an eye out for some HSE or Bord Gais employees they are always leaving laptops with huge databases of client information lying around.

    But seriously, if you want MySQL just download some open source PHP apps they almost all have sample databases included.

    Maybe if you search enough, you might find some. You could download any free CMS and get a bunch of SQL scripts to run and build it's DB.

    Probably the best thing to do IMHO is to download MySQL and create your own. They have extensive documentation:
    http://dev.mysql.com/doc/

    It will also give you a good idea of how it connects and works much better than studying an existing one, especially at the start. You'll get a primer in permissions, creating and modifying databases/tables.
