Hi, I am trying to practice "Generate workspace" module but I don't have "FME Training PostGIS database" connection available. I tried to add database connection, but I don't understand what URL to enter in the "Host" parameter.?

The connection details are a bit further down in the Quickly Create a Conversion Workflow module. Basically the host is postgis.train.safe.com, the port is 5432 and database, username and password are all fmedata

You can use whatever name you like, but I would recommend using the same one as in the example, FME Training PostGIS Database, because if you download a start or complete workspace for the next unit of the module it'll assume you have a connection with that name.
