Default Need a large database to work with.

Hey guys, I'm new here on the site. I work for a small company that just started up a couple years ago. We work a lot with databases and SQL. We are in need of a large sample database in order to show our clients what our software can do for them, however i cannot find any large sample database anywhere online. We have the pubs and northwind sample databases, but they are too small to show the full potential of our software. Does anyone have/ or know where i can find a database of information that is very large? The larger the database the better. We are looking for an SQL database, not access, however if access is all you have i can try and transfer the information over to sql.

I'm sorry if this is not in the right section. Please let me know and i will post it in the correct section. Thank you in advance.

The Sql Server 2005 version of AdventureWorks is 181,000 k. It stores about 31,000 orders as opposed to Northwind's 830.
