# Skytable 
A modern NoSQL database, powered by BlueQL.
## What is Skytable?
Skytable is a **modern NoSQL database** that focuses on **performance, flexibility and scalability**. Skytable
is a primarily in-memory, wide-column based database with support for additional data models* that
uses its own storage engine (structured like n-ary records with optimized delayed-durability transactions) and
enables querying with its own query language *BlueQL* that builds on top of SQL to improve security and flexibility.
Skytable is best-suited for applications that need to store large-scale data, need high-performance and low latencies.
> **You can read more about Skytable's architecture, including information on the clustering and HA implementation that we're currently working on, and limitations [on this page](https://docs.skytable.io/architecture).**
## Features
- **Spaces, models and more**: For flexible data definition
- **Powerful querying with BlueQL**: A modern query language based on SQL
- **Rich data modeling**: Use `model`s to define data with complex types, collections and more
- **Performant**: Heavily multithreaded, optimized write batching and more
- **Secure**: BlueQL is designed to strongly deter query injection pathways
- **Enforces best practices**: If you're building with Skytable today, the practices you'll learn here will let you easily take on the job of building performant systems, even outside Skytable
> Learn more about [Skytable's features here](https://docs.skytable.io).
## Getting started
1. **Set up Skytable on your machine**: You'll need to download a bundled release file [from the releases page](https://github.com/skytable/skytable/releases). Unzip the files and you're ready to go.
2. Start the database server: `./skyd --auth-root-password ` with your choice of a password for the `root` account. The `root` account is just like a `root` account on Unix based systems that has control over everything.
3. Start the interactive client REPL: `./skysh` and then enter your password.
4. You're ready to run queries!
> **For a more detailed guide on installation and deployment, [follow the guide here.](https://docs.skytable.io/installation)**
## Using Skytable
Skytable has `SPACE`s instead of `DATABASE`s due to signficant operational differences (and because `SPACE`s store a lot more than tabular data).
**With the REPL started, follow this guide**:
1. Create a `space` and switch to it:
```sql
CREATE SPACE myspace
USE myspace
```
2. Create a `model`:
```sql
CREATE MODEL myspace.mymodel(username: string, password: string, notes: list { type: string })
```
The rough representation for this in Rust would be:
```rust
pub struct MyModel {
username: String,
password: String,
notes: Vec,
}
```
3. `INSERT` some data:
```sql
INSERT INTO mymodel('sayan', 'pass123', [])
```
4. `UPDATE` some data:
```sql
UPDATE mymodel SET notes += "my first note" WHERE username = 'sayan'
```
5. `SELECT` some data
```sql
SELECT * FROM mymodel WHERE username = 'sayan'
```
6. Poke around! **And then make sure you [read the documentation learn BlueQL](https://docs.skytable.io/blueql/overview).**
> **For a complete guide on Skytable, it's architecture, BlueQL, queries and more we strongly recommend you to [read the documentation here.](https://docs.skytable.io)**
>
> While you're seeing strings and other values being used here, this is so because the REPL client smartly parameterizes queries behind the scenes. **BlueQL has mandatory parameterization**. (See below to see how the Rust client handles this)
## Find a client driver
You need a client driver to use Skytable in your programs. Officially, we maintain a regularly updated [Rust client driver](https://github.com/skytable/client-rust) which is liberally license under the Apache-2.0 license so that you can use it anywhere.
Using the Rust client driver, it's very straightforward to run queries thanks to Rust's powerful type system and macros:
```rust
use skytable::{Config, query};
fn main() {
let mut db = Config::new_default("username", "password").connect().unwrap();
let query = query!("select username, password from myspace.mymodel where username = ?", "sayan");
let (username, password): (String, Vec) = db.query_parse(&query).unwrap();
// do something with it!
}
```
> **You can find more information on client drivers on [this page](https://docs.skytable.io/libraries). If you want to help write a client driver for your language of choice, *we're here to support your work*. Please reach out to: [email protected] or leave a message on our Discord server!**
