# Getting Started with LiveLinq

## Content

We will show several samples that illustrate **LiveLinq**. All the samples presented here use the **Northwind** database. You can use the Access version (**C1NWind.mdb**) or the SQL Server version (**NORTHWND.MDF**). If you don’t have Northwind and would like to try the samples, you can download the SQL Server version of the database from this URL:

The **LiveLinq** distribution package includes more [samples](/componentone/docs/win/online-datasource/ComponentOneLiveLinq/Sample/GettingStartedSamples/HowToSamples) and [demos](/componentone/docs/win/online-datasource/ComponentOneLiveLinq/Sample/SampleApplications) that show details not covered in the "Getting Started" part of the documentation.
