Learning SQL - Having issues with demobld.sql

Question

I'm watching some videos of Jerry Richard that my company bought that teaches SQL. He's running Oracle 10g SQL*PLUS. He has referred to the file demobld.sql to create the tables that I need. I found the file that came from the Oracle download and ran it successfully. However, in the videos, he's writing code that refers to a "STAFF" table. When I ran the script, it didn't create a "STAFF" table. When he went to the host directory, it shows his file size as 28,000 bytes. Mine is only about 2 or 3,000.
I assume I have a different version file, perhaps? Any ideas on where I can get this other file that is much bigger? I've googled, and searched the forums and can't find anything. Thanks.

Hi,
create the table staff with the structure as given in the book. And then insert the values using these below statements.
insert into staff values(10, Sanders, 20, Mgr, 7, 98357.50, -);

This makes the table with values you wanted.
