SODA Commands

SODA (Simple Oracle Document Access) commands are supported in the SQL code editor. SODA allows schemaless application development using the JSON data model. The commands are:

  • SODA list — Lists all the collections

  • SODA get <collection_name> [-all | -f | -k | -klist] [{<key> | <k1> <k2> ... | <qbe>}] — Lists documents in the collection. Optional arguments:

    • all: Lists the keys of all documents in the collection

    • k: Lists documents matching the specific <key>

    • klist: Lists documents matching the list of keys

    • f: Lists documents matching the <qbe>

  • SODA insert <collection_name> <json_str | filename> — Inserts a new document within a collection

  • SODA drop <collection_name> — Deletes existing collection

  • SODA count <collection_name> [<qbe>] — Counts number of documents inside collection. Optional parameter <qbe> returns number of matching documents

  • SODA replace <collection_name> <oldkey> <new_{str | doc}> — Replaces one document with another

  • SODA remove <collection_name> [-k | -klist | -f] {<key> | <k1> <k2> ...| <qbe>} — Removes documents from collection. Optional arguments:

    • k: Removes document in collection matching the specific <key>

    • klist: Removes document in collection matching the list <key1> <key2> ...

    • f: Removes document in collection matching <qbe>
