Practise · Real PostgreSQL

SQL lab

Use real SQL to complete a guided task in a temporary PostgreSQL database. Your lab is isolated from every other learner and is removed when you finish or when it expires.

Your goal

Demonstrate that an application role has only required access and that an operator retains audited recovery access.

What to do

  1. Start your temporary database.
  2. Read the task and run SQL in the workspace.
  3. Check your work. The server will inspect the database state.
  4. When every task passes, continue to the assessment.

Managed PostgreSQL workspace

Real SQL lab

A reporting service needs customer totals, but it must not modify orders or inherit broad owner rights.

Your database is temporaryIt is private to this lab and deleted when you finish or it expires.

Goal

Create a least-privilege reporting role and verify it can read the intended table without receiving write access.

Start when you are ready. Creating your private database can take a few seconds. You do not need a Neon account.
