Thanks to Ergast https://ergast.com/mrd/db/ for providing the data
This repo is to help set up a sample database to learn to run queries against.
Please run $ ./install.sh to install the requirements, including
docker and psql. This script should work for you if you're on OSX.
It also will run a docker container that has postgres running, installs
a database installed with data in it. Finally, it starts a psql
session, so that you may begin querying the databse. Try select * from races limit 5;!
To get a new psql session going, try $ psql -h localhost -U postgres -d f1db
If you have another postgres database running, please stop it or run this container on abother port.
To stop the database container, do $ docker stop f1db-container. A
full list of docker CLI commands can be found at
docs.docker.com
PostgresQL help can be found in their excellent online manual
