Take a sip of Soda

The content of this repository supports the onboarding tutorial and guides in Soda documentation.
Access the Take a sip of Soda tutorial to use the example data in this repo to set up and run a simple Soda scan for data quality.

Build the example data source

Refer to the full instructions in the Take a sip of Soda tutorial.

To enable you to take a first sip of Soda, you can use Docker to quickly build an example PostgreSQL data source against which you can run scans for data quality. The example data source contains data for AdventureWorks, an imaginary online e-commerce organization.

With Docker running, run the following command in Terminal to set up the prepared example data source.

docker run \
 --name sip-of-soda \
 -p 5432:5432 \
 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=secret \
 sodadata/soda-adventureworks

When the output reads data system is ready to accept connections, your data source is set up and you are ready to proceed with the tutorial.
