We will use Node.js to connect JavaScript to a database, create facebook data and manipulate tables, and execute SQL queries.

The goal is for you to understand the basic structure of a database and know how to use JavaScript to automate processes and interactions that would otherwise be done manually.

So, download the available material and come with me to learn how to connect JavaScript to an SQL database.

Creating the Database File
Let's start this lesson by opening VS Code and creating a file called banco.db .

Creating the Database File
Within VS Code, we will use an extension called SQLite Viewer , which allows us to view database data.

SQLite Server Extension
Starting the Project and Installing SQLite
After installing the extension, open the VS Code terminal and run the command npm init -y to initialize a new Node.js project . This will create a package.json file with default settings.
