Databases

• See the [docker-compose.yml](docker-compose.yml) included here.

• See dbplyr Vignette. Most useful is the advice on why you want to use a database:

• Your data is already in a database.
• You have so much data that it does not all fit into memory simultaneously and you need to use some external storage engine. (If your data fits in memory there is no advantage to putting it in a database: it will only be slower and more frustrating.)
