I would like to play with a larger database to test my knowledge on SQL.

Is there a huge .sql out there that I can use to play with SQL queries?

You could try the classic MySQL world database.

The world.sql file is available for download here:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/index-other.html

Just scroll down to Example Databases and you will find it.
