Learn SQL by Building a Student Database: Part 1

I’ve just started the above course/exercise and for some reason the terminal seems extra unstable. Frequently the database stops recognizing any commands and I have to close my current terminal and open a new one. This is happening more than five or six times an hour.

Any ideas out there?

Are you remembering to put a semicolon at the end of your sql commands?

Yep, not a syntax issue, the terminal just seems to stop responding. When I close and open a new one it will work for about another six or seven minutes and then do the same thing.


Getting worse now, lol.

Resolved on its own. I’m going to assume a temporary issue with a server.

You can utilize DBeaver or pgAdmin client to connect to PostgreSQL Server. They are better clients and can stay pretty stable with any operating systems.
