Pro Tipp Use trailing nulcols if you have some error in your test data generator or database model (like I did) and don’t want to go back and change it.
It just appends null on the end of incomplete rows. Just make sure to take your screenshots on way that won’t make it obvious that you cheated.

Create a new directory inside the data directory for logs (see previous course)
