# Use a demo SQL database
**Pre-requisite**: Docker
To import the demo database using our [forestadmin/meals-database](https://hub.docker.com/r/forestadmin/meals-database) image, simply run:
```
docker run -p 5432:5432 --name forest_demo_database forestadmin/meals-database
```
That's all! Your database is running locally in a docker container.
To check if the database is correctly setup, you can use the following command to connect to your freshly created database.
```sql theme={null}
docker exec -it forest_demo_database psql meals lumber
```
You should get a prompt where you can type SQL queries or PostgreSQL command line `\d` to see the available list of tables.
```sql theme={null}
meals=# \d
List of relations

```

| Property | Value |
| ------------- | ------ |
| User | lumber |
| Password | secret |
| Database name | meals |
