CREATE NAMESPACE

Before creating tables, namespaces must be created since a table belongs to one namespace. CREATE NAMESPACE command creates a namespace.

Grammar

CREATE NAMESPACE [IF NOT EXISTS] <namespace name> [WITH creation_options]

creation_options: <option name>=<option value> [AND <option name>=<option value>] ...

Please see ScalarDB Java API Guide - Creation Options for the details of Creation Options.

Examples

Examples of CREATE NAMESPACE are as follows:

# Create a namespace "ns"
CREATE NAMESPACE ns;

# Create a namespace only if it does not already exist
CREATE NAMESPACE IF NOT EXISTS ns;

# Create a namespace with options
CREATE NAMESPACE ns WITH 'option1' = 'value1' AND 'option2' = 'value2' AND 'option3' = 'value3';

Examples of building statement objects for CREATE NAMESPACE are as follows:

// Create a namespace "ns"
CreateNamespaceStatement statement1 = StatementBuilder.createNamespace("ns").build();

// Create a namespace only if it does not already exist
CreateNamespaceStatement statement2 =
    StatementBuilder.createNamespace("ns").ifNotExists().build();

// Create a namespace with options
CreateNamespaceStatement statement3 =
    StatementBuilder.createNamespace("ns")
        .withOption("option1", "value1")
        .withOption("option2", "value2")
        .withOption("option3", "value3")
        .build();

CREATE TABLE

CREATE TABLE command creates a table.

Please see ScalarDB design document - Data Model for the details of the ScalarDB Data Model.

Grammar

Create a table with a primary key that is composed of a single column:

CREATE TABLE [IF NOT EXISTS] [<namespace name>.]<table name> (
  <primary key column name> data_type PRIMARY KEY,
  <column name> data_type,
  ...
) [WITH creation_options]

data_type: BOOLEAN | INT | BIGINT | FLOAT | DOUBLE | TEXT | BLOB
creation_options: <option name>=<option value> [AND <option name>=<option value>] ...

Create a table with a primary key that is composed of one partition key column and multiple clustering key columns:

CREATE TABLE [IF NOT EXISTS] [<namespace name>.]<table name> (
  <partition key column name> data_type,
  <clustering key column name> data_type,
  ...,
  <column name> data_type,
  ...,
  PRIMARY KEY (<partition key column name>, <clustering key column name> [, <clustering key column name>] ...)
) [WITH [clustering_order_definition [AND creation_options]] | creation_options]

clustering_order_definition: CLUSTERING ORDER BY (<clustering key column name> [clustering_order] [, <clustering key column name> [clustering_order]] ...)
clustering_order: ASC | DESC

If you omit clustering_order, the default clustering order ASC is used.

Create a table with a primary key that is composed of multiple partition key columns and multiple clustering key columns:

CREATE TABLE [IF NOT EXISTS] [<namespace name>.]<table name> (
  <partition key column name> data_type,
  ...,
  <clustering key column name> data_type,
  ...,
  <column name1> data_type,
  <column name2> data_type,
  ...,
  PRIMARY KEY ((<partition key column name> [, <partition key column name>] ...), <clustering key column name> [, <clustering key column name>] ...)
) [WITH [clustering_order_definition [AND creation_options]] | creation_options]

DML

SELECT

SELECT command retrieves records of the database.

Grammar

SELECT projection [, projection] ...
  FROM [<namespace name>.]<table name>
  [WHERE <column name> operator <column value> [AND <column name> operator <column value>] ...]
  [ORDER BY <clustering key column name> [clustering_order] [, <clustering key column name> [clustering_order]] ...]
  [LIMIT <limit>]

projection: * | <column name> [AS <alias>]
operator: = | > | >= | < | <=
clustering_order: ASC | DESC

Note

You can specify WHERE clause to primary key columns
In WHERE clause, you can use only the equal to(=) operator for partition key columns, and you can use all the operators for clustering key columns
You can also omit WHERE clause to retrieve all the records of a table
If you omit WHERE clause, you cannot specify ORDER BY
You can also specify WHERE clause to an indexed column
If you specify WHERE clause to an indexed column, you can use only the equal to(=) operator for the index column
If you specify WHERE clause to an indexed column, you cannot specify ORDER BY
You can specify <column value> and <limit> to a bind marker (positional ? and named :<name>)
If you omit clustering_order, the default clustering order ASC is used.

Please see also Java API Guide - Get operation and Scan operation for more details of retrieving data from the database in ScalarDB

Examples

Let's say you have the following table and index:

CREATE TABLE ns.tbl (
  c1 INT,
  c2 TEXT,
  c3 FLOAT,
  c4 BIGINT,
  c5 BOOLEAN,
  PRIMARY KEY (c1, c2, c3)
) WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (c2 DESC, c3 ASC);

CREATE INDEX ON ns.tbl (c4);

Examples of SELECT are as follows:

# With a full primary key
SELECT * FROM ns.tbl WHERE c1 = 10 AND c2 = 'aaa' AND c3 = 1.23;

# With a partial primary key
SELECT * FROM ns.tbl WHERE c1 = 10 AND c2 = 'aaa';

# With projections and a partition key and clustering key boundaries
SELECT c1, c2, c3, c5 FROM ns.tbl WHERE c1 = 10 AND c2 = 'aaa' AND c3 >= 1.23 AND c3 < 4.56;

# With projections and a partition key and clustering key boundaries and clustering orders and limit
SELECT c1 AS a, c2 AS b, c3 AS c, c5 FROM ns.tbl WHERE c1 = 10 AND c2 > 'aaa' AND c2 <= 'ddd' ORDER BY c2 ASC, c3 DESC LIMIT 10;

# Without WHERE clause to retrieve all the records of a table
SELECT * FROM ns.tbl;

# Without WHERE clause and with projections and limit
SELECT c1, c2, c3, c5 FROM ns.tbl LIMIT 10;

# With an indexed column
SELECT * FROM ns.tbl WHERE c4=100;

# With projections and an indexed column and limit
SELECT c1, c2, c3, c4 FROM ns.tbl WHERE c4=100 LIMIT 10;

# With positional bind markers
SELECT * FROM ns.tbl WHERE c1 = ? AND c2 > ? AND c2 <= ? ORDER BY c2 ASC, c3 DESC LIMIT ?;

INSERT

INSERT command inserts a record into the database.

Note that unlike the standard SQL, this command doesn't check duplication of the record. So if the record already exists, it doesn't show any error and overwrites the record.

Grammar

INSERT INTO [<namespace name>.]<table name> [(<column name> [, <column name>] ...)] VALUES (<column value> [, <column value>] ...)]

Note that you must specify a full primary key in INSERT. And you can specify <column value> to a bind marker (positional ? and named :<name>).

Examples

Examples of INSERT are as follows:

# Insert a record without specifying column names
INSERT INTO ns.tbl VALUES (10, 'aaa', 1.23, 100, true);

# Insert a record with column names
INSERT INTO ns.tbl (c1, c2, c3, c4) VALUES (10, 'aaa', 1.23, 100);

# With positional bind markers
INSERT INTO tbl VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?);

Examples of building statement objects for INSERT are as follows:

// Insert a record
InsertStatement statement1 = StatementBuilder.insertInto("ns", "tbl")
    .values(
        Assignment.column("c1").value(Value.of(10)),
        Assignment.column("c2").value(Value.of("aaa")),
        Assignment.column("c3").value(Value.of(1.23F)),
        Assignment.column("c4").value(Value.of(100L)),
        Assignment.column("c5").value(Value.of(true))
    ).build();


// With positional bind markers
InsertStatement statement2 = StatementBuilder.insertInto("tbl")
    .values(
        Assignment.column("c1").value(BindMarker.positional()),
        Assignment.column("c2").value(BindMarker.positional()),
        Assignment.column("c3").value(BindMarker.positional()),

  WHERE <primary key column name> = <column value> [AND <primary key column name> = <column value>] ...]

Note that you must specify a full primary key in UPDATE. And you can specify <column value> to a bind marker (positional ? and named :<name>).

Examples

Examples of UPDATE are as follows:

# Update a record
UPDATE ns.tbl SET c4 = 200, c5 = false WHERE c1 = 10 AND c2 = 'aaa' AND c3 = 1.23;

            Assignment.column("c5").value(Value.of(false)))
        .where(Predicate.column("c1").isEqualTo(Value.of(10)))
        .and(Predicate.column("c2").isEqualTo(Value.of("aaa")))
        .and(Predicate.column("c3").isEqualTo(Value.of(1.23F)))
        .build();

// With positional bind markers
UpdateStatement statement2 =
    StatementBuilder.update("tbl")
        .set(
            Assignment.column("c4").value(BindMarker.positional()),
