## AI overview

A tutorial for Enterprise Edition readers of Mastering PostgreSQL in Application Development explains how to use psql inside its Docker container, including identifying the running container, opening a shell, and copying book SQL files into it.

## Source excerpt

The Enterprise Edition of Mastering PostgreSQL in Application Development ships with a docker image that hosts both a PostgreSQL server instance with a pre-loaded database, the one that's used throughout the book examples, and also with a Jupyter Network notebook that hosts SQL queries thanks to the sql_magic plugin.
