We're going to be working with a relational database to soar all the interactions that we
0:05
have from twilio back over to our flask application, in order to make the most of
0:11
that, understand what's happening. We really need a decent database visualization tool. If you have PyCharm and it's the Pro edition,
0:18
it comes with some really fantastic data exploration, query and visualization tools, like we have right here, so you can go and open your
0:25
database, go to the table. See the columns, were either even pull up these diagrams. I give you the option to not use PyCharm Pro,
0:33
which is paid not super expensive. You can pay like $8 a month. And if your student if you work at university, if you have an open source project,
0:41
they'll give you a free copy and sort of follow the pricing page for that. Nonetheless, if you don't have PyCharm pro,
0:47
you won't have this view. So what do you do? We're going to be using a different tool in that situation. We're going to be using Beekeeper Studio,
0:54
so if you don't have the PyCharms tools built in, just go and get Beekeeper Studio at beekeeperstudio.io.

It's a really nice database exploration tool, lets you see the tables, see their column definitions, go into queries and edits and whatnot.

So this is really nice option for working with the databases that we're going to be creating during this course. If you don't have PyCharm pro,
1:15
if you already got that, you can just use that as well.
