2. Create some data in the database.

   1. In the **Containers** view, next to your container select the **Show
      container actions** icon, and then select **Open in terminal**.
   2. Run the following command in the container's terminal to add a table.

      ```console
      # mysql -u root -pmy-secret-pw -e "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS mydb.mytable (column_name VARCHAR(255)); INSERT INTO mydb.mytable (column_name) VALUES ('value');"
      ```

      This command uses the `mysql` tool in the container to create a table
      named `mytable` with a column named `column_name`, and finally inserts a
      value of value`.

3. In the **Containers** view, select the **Delete** icon next to your
   container, and then select **Delete forever**. Without a volume, the table

5. Verify that the table you created still exists.

   1. In the **Containers** view, next to your container select the **Show
