What's inside Skytable

  1. Overview of the Skyhash protocol

    Skyhash is the communication protocol used between Skytable clients (drivers or libraries) and the Skytable server. It is built on top of TCP. Developers can use existing client libraries or implement their own driver using a standard TCP client. When implementing a custom driver, it is recommended to keep data type matching non-exhaustive and throw an exception when an unknown type signature is encountered, as new data types are frequently added to the protocol.

  2. Overview of the Skyhash (SSP) Protocol

    Skyhash, also known as the Skytable Serialization Protocol (SSP), is a serialization protocol built on top of TCP used for client/server communication with Skytable. It follows a query/response pattern where clients send 'Query Packets' and the server returns 'Response Packets'.

    There are two types of queries:

    • Simple queries: Contain one action in the query packet and receive one response in the response packet.
    • Pipeline queries: Contain multiple actions in a single query packet and receive multiple responses in the response packet.

  3. Overview of BlueQL query language

    BlueQL is Skytable's proprietary query language based on SQL. It is designed with a focus on modern syntax and security, specifically aiming to prevent injection attacks during development. Key security measures include mandatory parameterization of variable data and strict Left-Hand Side (LHS) and Right-Hand Side (RHS) expression enforcement. Additionally, BlueQL supports modern data types such as lists and dictionaries.

  4. Overview of Skytable NoSQL Database

    Skytable is a free and open-source modern NoSQL database designed for performance, scalability, and powerful querying. It features a robust type system and can be deployed on multiple platforms as a single binary file with no special system dependencies.

  5. Overview of Skytable NoSQL Database

    Skytable is a free and open-source modern NoSQL database designed for performance, scalability, and powerful querying. It features a robust type system and can be deployed on multiple platforms as a single binary file without requiring special system dependencies.

  6. Overview of Skytable Actions

    Actions (also called queries) are the primary way to interact with Skytable. They are categorized into two types:

    • DDL (Data Definition Language): Used to interact with the structures that store data.
    • DML (Data Manipulation Language): Used to access and manipulate the data stored within those structures.

  7. Overview of Skytable NoSQL Database

    Skytable is a free and open-source modern NoSQL database designed for performance, scalability, and powerful querying with a robust type system. It is distributed as a single binary file and has no special system dependencies, allowing it to be deployed across multiple platforms.

  8. Overview of the Skyhash protocol

    Skyhash is the TCP-based protocol used for communication between Skytable clients (drivers or libraries) and the Skytable server. Developers can use existing client libraries or implement their own using a standard TCP client. When implementing a custom client, it is recommended to keep data type matching non-exhaustive and throw an exception when an unknown type signature is encountered, as new data types are frequently added in new releases.

  9. Overview of BlueQL query language

    BlueQL is Skytable's proprietary query language based on SQL. It is designed with a focus on modern syntax and security, specifically aiming to prevent injection attacks during development. Key security and syntax features include:

    • Mandatory parameterization of variable data.
    • Strict Left-Hand Side (LHS) and Right-Hand Side (RHS) expression enforcement.
    • Support for modern data types such as lists and dictionaries.

  10. Overview of the Skyhash protocol

    Skyhash is the TCP-based protocol used for communication between Skytable clients (drivers or libraries) and the Skytable server. Developers can use existing client libraries or implement their own driver using standard TCP client capabilities. When implementing a custom client, it is recommended to keep data type matching non-exhaustive and throw an exception when an unknown type signature is encountered, as new data types are frequently added in new releases.

  11. Overview of the Skyhash (SSP) Protocol

    Skyhash, also known as the Skytable Serialization Protocol (SSP), is a serialization protocol built on top of TCP used for communication between Skytable clients and servers. It follows a query/response pattern where clients send 'Query Packets' and the server returns 'Response Packets'.

    There are two types of queries:

    • Simple queries: Contain one action in the query packet and receive one response in the response packet.
    • Pipeline queries: Contain multiple actions in a single query packet and receive multiple responses in the response packet.

  12. Introduction to BlueQL Query Language

    Skytable uses a proprietary query language called BlueQL, which serves as a powerful and secure alternative to SQL. BlueQL covers Data Definition Language (DDL), Data Control Language (DCL), and Data Manipulation Language (DML). While it has similar syntax to SQL, there are small but important operational differences.
