DESCRIPTION

Statements in alphabetical order

Although an initial statement may be entered on the tarantool command line, generally they are entered following the prompt in interactive mode while tarantool is running. (A prompt will be the name of the host and a greater-than sign, for example localhost>). The end-of-statement marker is a newline (line feed).

CALL

Syntax: CALL procedure-identifier (). Effect: The client tells the server to execute the procedure identified by procedure-identifier. Example: CALL proc50(). Notes: The client sends to the server's read/write data port.

DELETE

Syntax: DELETE FROM tuple-set-name WHERE field-name = literal. Effect: Client tells server to delete the tuple identified by the WHERE clause. Example: DELETE FROM t0 WHERE k0='a'. Notes: field-name must identify the primary key. The client sends to the server's read/write data port after converting from SQL to binary protocol.

EXIT

Syntax: E[XIT]. Effect: The tarantool program stops. Example: EXIT. Notes: The QUIT statement does the same thing. The client sends nothing to the server.

HELP

Syntax: H[ELP]. Effect: Client displays a message including a list of possible statements. Example: HELP. Notes: The client sends nothing to the server.

INSERT

Syntax: INSERT [INTO] tuple-set-identifier VALUES (literal [,literal...]). Effect: The client tells the server to add the tuple consisting of the literal values. Example: INSERT INTO t0 VALUES ('a',0). Notes: The client sends to the server's read/write data port after converting from SQL to binary protocol.

LOADFILE

Syntax: LOADFILE string-literal. Effect: The client loads instructions from the file identified by string-literal. Example: LOADFILE '/home/tarantool_user/file5.txt'.

LUA

Syntax: LUA token [token...]. Effect: The client tells the server to execute the tokens as Lua statements. Example: LUA ``hello''..`` world''. Notes: The client sends to the server's administrative port.

PING

Syntax: PING. Effect: The client sends a ping to the server. Example: PING. Notes: The client sends to the server's read/write data port.

QUIT

Syntax: Q[UIT]. Effect: The client stops. This statement is handled entirely by the client. Example: QUIT. Notes: The EXIT statement does the same thing. The client sends nothing to the server.

RELOAD

Syntax: RELOAD CONFIGURATION. Effect: The client tells the server to re-read the configuration file. Example: RELOAD CONFIGURATION. Notes: The client sends to the server's administrative port.

REPLACE

Syntax; REPLACE [INTO] tuple-set-identifier VALUES (literal [,literal...]). Effect: The client tells the server to add the tuple consisting of the literal values. Example: REPLACE INTO t0 VALUES ('a',0). Notes: REPLACE and INSERT are the same, except that INSERT will return an error if a tuple already exists with the same primary key. The client sends to the server's read/write data port after converting from SQL to binary protocol.

SAVE

Syntax: SAVE COREDUMP | SNAPSHOT. Effect: The client tells the server to save the designated object. Example: SAVE SNAPSHOT. Notes: The client sends to the server's administrative port.

SELECT

Syntax: SELECT * FROM tuple-set-identifier WHERE field-identifier = literal [AND|OR field-identifier = literal...] [LIMIT numeric-literal [,numeric-literal]]. Effect: Client tells server to find the tuple or tuples identified in the WHERE clause. Example: SELECT * FROM t0 WHERE k0 = 5 AND k1 = 7 LIMIT 1. Notes: The client sends to the server's read/write data port.

SET

Syntax: SET INJECTION name-token state-token. Effect: In normal mode: error. Notes: This statement is only available in debug mode.

SETOPT

Syntax: SETOPT DELIMITER = string-literal. The string must be a value in single quotes. Effect: string becomes end-of-statement delimiter, so newline alone is not treated as end of statement. Example: SETOPT DELIMITER = '!'. Notes: The client sends nothing to the server.

Syntax: SETOPT PAGER = string-literal. The string must be a value in single quotes. Effect: string becomes the pager that will be invoked for subsequent commands; usually the values are '/usr/bin/less' or '/bin/more' for the common Linux pagers. Example: SETOPT PAGER = '/usr/bin/less'. Notes: The client sends nothing to the server.

SHOW

Syntax: SHOW CONFIGURATION | FIBER | INFO | INJECTIONS | PALLOC | PLUGINS | SLAB | STAT. Effect: The client asks the server for information about environment or statistics. Example: SHOW INFO. Notes: The client sends to the server's administrative port. SHOW INJECTIONS is only available in debug mode.

UPDATE

Syntax: UPDATE tuple-set-identifier SET field-identifier = literal [,field-identifier = literal...] WHERE field-identifier = literal. Effect: Client tells server to change the tuple identified in the WHERE clause. Example: UPDATE t1 SET k1= 'K', k2 = 7 WHERE k0 = 0. Notes: The client sends to the server's read/write data port after converting from SQL to binary protocol.

For a condensed Backus-Naur Form [BNF] description of some of the statements, see doc/box-protocol.txt and doc/sql.txt.

EXAMPLES

Depending how one combines the tarantool client's options, there are in effect three modes of operation: ``interactive'', ``print and play'', or ``replication'' mode.

In interactive mode, one types statements and gets results. One can specify a statement file when starting (tarantool < file_name) or one can specify a statement file with the LOADFILE statement: (LOADFILE file_name), but typically the statements are typed in by the user following prompts. Here is an example of an interactive-mode tarantool client session:

 $ tarantool
 localhost> INSERT INTO t0 VALUES ('X-1',100)
 Insert OK, 1 rows affected
 localhost> INSERT INTO t0 VALUES ('X-2',200,'On Order')
 Insert OK, 1 rows affected
 localhost> INSERT INTO t0 VALUES ('X-3',300,'')
 Insert OK, 1 rows affected
 localhost> UPDATE t0 SET k1 = 300 WHERE k0 = 'X-1'
 Update OK, 1 rows affected
 localhost> DELETE FROM t0 WHERE k0 = 'X-2'
 Delete OK, 1 rows affected
 localhost> SELECT * FROM t0 WHERE k0 = 'X-1'
 Select OK, 1 rows affected
 ['X-1', 300]
 localhost> EXIT
 $

In print and play mode, one uses --cat and --play and --from and --to and --space options to print write-ahead-log contents, or to send write-ahead-log contents to the server. Here is an example of a print-and-play-mode tarantool client session:

 $ tarantool --cat /home/user1/tarantool_test/work_dir/00000000000000000005.xlog --from 22 --to 26
 Insert, lsn: 22, time: 1385327353.345869, len: 33, space: 0, cookie: 127.0.0.1:44787 ['X-1', 100]
 Insert, lsn: 23, time: 1385327353.346745, len: 42, space: 0, cookie: 127.0.0.1:44787 ['X-2', 200, 8243105135088135759]
 Insert, lsn: 24, time: 1385327353.347352, len: 34, space: 0, cookie: 127.0.0.1:44787 ['X-3', 300, '']
 Update, lsn: 25, time: 1385327353.348209, len: 42, space: 0, cookie: 127.0.0.1:44787 ['X-1']
 Delete, lsn: 26, time: 1385327353.348879, len: 28, space: 0, cookie: 127.0.0.1:44787 ['X-2']
 $

In replication mode, one connects as a replica, and then writes a binary log to a file.
