Welcome to Lab 1
Today we install PostgreSQL on your own machine, meet pgAdmin 4, and run our first real SQL queries.
Today's checklist
- Install PostgreSQL 16 and its companion tools
- Meet pgAdmin 4, the graphical database client
- Import a .sql file and run SQL
- Find out where your schema physically lives
How the lab works
Each slide pairs a short explanation with a live code panel. Try every command yourself — do not just watch.
