The database schema
By now, you know that SQL databases always have a database schema. In the video on databases, you saw the following diagram:

A PostgreSQL database is set up in your local environment, which contains this database schema. It's been filled with some example data. You can use pandas to query the database using the read_sql() function. You'll have to pass it a database engine, which has been defined for you and is called db_engine.
The pandas package imported as pd will store the query result into a DataFrame object, so you can use any DataFrame functionality on it after fetching the results from the database.
