How to install

pip install surrealdb

Quick start

In this short guide, you will learn how to install, import, and initialize the SDK, as well as perform the basic data manipulation queries. This guide uses the Surreal class, but this example would also work with AsyncSurreal class, with the addition of await in front of the class methods.

Install

pip install surrealdb

Learn the basics

# Import the Surreal class
from surrealdb import Surreal

# Using a context manger to automatically connect and disconnect
with Surreal("ws://localhost:8000/rpc") as db:
    db.signin({"username": 'root', "password": 'root'})
    db.use("namepace_test", "database_test")

    # Create a record in the person table
    db.create(
        "person",
        {
            "user": "me",
            "password": "safe",
            "marketing": True,
            "tags": ["python", "documentation"],
        },
    )

    # Read all the records in the table
    print(db.select("person"))

    # Update all records in the table
    print(db.update("person", {
        "user":"you",
        "password":"very_safe",
        "marketing": False,
        "tags": ["Awesome"]
    }))

    # Delete all records in the table
    print(db.delete("person"))

    # You can also use the query method 
    # doing all of the above and more in SurrealQl
    
    # In SurrealQL you can do a direct insert 
    # and the table will be created if it doesn't exist
    
    # Create
    db.query("""
    insert into person {
        user: 'me',
        password: 'very_safe',
        tags: ['python', 'documentation']
    };
    """)

    # Read
    print(db.query("select * from person"))
    
    # Update
    print(db.query("""
    update person content {
        user: 'you',
        password: 'more_safe',
        tags: ['awesome']
    };
    """))

    # Delete
    print(db.query("delete person"))
