PostgreSQL learning environment

This was created to follow the PostgreSQL Front End Masters course.

It includes the following Containers:

• PostgreSQL (customized)
• PgAdmin4

The customized Docker image for PostgreSQL includes git, wget and bzip2 which are needed to import the OMDB database.

NPM Commands

All commands needed where created as scripts in package.json

• npm run psql: Gets the pgsql command on the PostgreSQL image
• npm run bash: Executes bash on the PostgreSQL image
• npm run omdb: Uses the omdb-postgres repo to import the omdb database into postgres.
  • Running this command will take a long time since the OMDB database is about 2G in size

The npm run omdb command can be executed in parts in case you want to debug issues. Refer to the pacakge.json file scripts for more info.
