External database queries for "Database Dig" exercise
I noticed that, when I was doing the "Database Dig" exercise, my computer lagged intensively to the extent that I would sometimes delete half of my commands just because the computer hadn't caught up to where my mouse now was. I was specifically using the Pokemon dataset which has 720 rows in it, and haven't tested to see if that was as big a deal with the others (side note, it'd be nice to see how big the datasets were without having to click through- I'm gonna guess that Winston's donut database is probably smaller than the one I picked).
Would it be possible to like, have the databases in a secondary tab (like how the HTML/CSS files are separated in that course) and just show how many rows they had and the row names on the main tab? Or like, an import statement of some kind, if possible? Then the computer wouldn't have to load so many things on the screen at once, and it'd probably be a lot less frustrating to work with. I know this wouldn't solve any lag that happened as a result of querying this many rows, but it's just not very fun to fight "where did my cursor go and how many characters ago did I hit the wrong key?" when doing lessons.
