API

This is a progressive documentation of the Linked QL API.

High Level APIs

These are the high-level database abstraction APIs in Linked QL.

API	Description
Client	The top-level Linked QL API
Database	The database-level Linked QL API
Table	The table-level Linked QL API
Savepoint	The Savepoint API

Above, the Client, Database, and Table APIs have the following relationship:

Client
    .database(): Database
        .table(): Table

These APIs at play could look something like:

// Create database "database_1"
await client.createDatabase(
    'database_1',
    { ifNotExists: true }
);

// Enter "database_1" and create a table
await client.database('database_1').createTable({
    name: 'table_1', columns: [
        { name: 'column_1', type: 'int', identity: true, primaryKey: true },
        { name: 'column_2', type: 'varchar' },
        { name: 'column_3', type: 'varchar' },
    ]
});

// Enter "table_1" and insert data
await client.database('database_1').table('table_1').insert({
    column_2: 'Column 2 test content',
    column_3: 'Column 3 test content',
});

While the primary query API in here is client.query(), Linked QL comes with the additional APIs to let you programmatically do the same things possible with client.query().
