<StepHikeCompact.Details title="Create a Supabase project">

Go to [database.new](https://database.new) and create a new Supabase project.

When your project is up and running, go to the [Table Editor](https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/editor), create a new table and insert some data.

Alternatively, you can run the following snippet in your project's [SQL Editor](https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/sql/new). This will create a `countries` table with some sample data.

</StepHikeCompact.Details>

<StepHikeCompact.Code>

    ```sql SQL_EDITOR
    -- Create the table
    create table countries (
      id bigint primary key generated always as identity,
      name text not null
    );
    -- Insert some sample data into the table
    insert into countries (name)
    values
      ('Canada'),
      ('United States'),
      ('Mexico');

    alter table countries enable row level security;
    ```

</StepHikeCompact.Code>

<StepHikeCompact.Details>

Make the data in your table publicly readable by adding an RLS policy:

<StepHikeCompact.Code>

    ```sql SQL_EDITOR
    create policy "public can read countries"
    on public.countries
    for select to anon
    using (true);
    ```
