This paper presents a new pedagogical approach to the teaching of the Databases course in a Vocational Education and Training (VET) environment. We propose an exemplary teaching scenario for basic database commands using Neo4j. This approach is necessitated by the fact that many online/network environments are taught in VET without any special preparation in the corresponding laboratories. Furthermore, our article describes various technical aspects of the NoSQL software family in general and of Neo4j in particular.
