Use a demo SQL database

Pre-requisite: Docker

To import the demo database using our forestadmin/meals-database image, simply run:

docker run -p 5432:5432 --name forest_demo_database forestadmin/meals-database

That's all! Your database is running locally in a docker container.

To check if the database is correctly setup, you can use the following command to connect to your freshly created database.

docker exec -it forest_demo_database psql meals lumber

You should get a prompt where you can type SQL queries or PostgreSQL command line \d to see the available list of tables.

meals=# \d
                    List of relations
