For today's morning lab, you'll be getting practice with the SQL commands you just learned.
_NOTE!_ To create a new postgres database without connecting to psql, in terminal bash just run `createdb [databasename]` where [databasename] is whatever you want to name your new database.
### Activity
1. Start by working in the `computers.sql` file and follow the directions outlined there
1. Move onto the `televisions.sql` file and follow the directions outlined there
##### :red_circle: How to run .sql files in terminal:
- To run the .sql files, use the command: `psql -f sql_file_name.sql database_name`
- For example: `psql -f computers.sql sql_lab`
### Hungry for More?
If you finish both files, try out the [realty lab](./realty)!
