Welcome aboard — give me a sanity check on the chart of accounts. Pull the first 10 rows of `dim_accounts` so I know the data loaded correctly. All columns.

Hints (3)

Each hint you reveal reduces the XP you can earn. Try the query first.

Hint 1

The chart of accounts is in its own dimension table. To preview data without loading every row, think about how to cap the result at a small sample.

Hint 2

Add `LIMIT 10` so you don't fetch every row — there aren't many, but it's a habit worth building.

Hint 3

You need all columns from the accounts table — a star select is fine here — capped at 10 rows.
