A hands-on learning lab to master **JDBC** and SQL querying skills using the Sakila sample database.

> 📌 SQL scripts are included for reference and **should be executed in tools like DBeaver or MySQL Workbench** — not from IntelliJ.

---

### What You Will Learn

- How to connect to MySQL databases using JDBC

- Execute SQL queries and navigate results with Java

- Use scrollable `ResultSet` features

- Validate data with **TestNG** assertions

- Structure DB test flows professionally

---

### Tech Stack

- **Java 21**

- **JDBC** (MySQL Connector)

- **TestNG 7.10+**

- **Maven**

- **MySQL (Sakila)**

---

### About the SQL Files

The `.sql` scripts in this repo are for learning purposes only:

- Based on the **Sakila** sample DB

- Practice topics include:

    - Filtering, sorting, joins

    - Aggregation, grouping, DDL & DML

    - Query navigation & performance

- Execute them in tools like **MySQL Workbench**, **DBeaver**, or **DataGrip**

---
