Description

super db is a sub-command of super to manage and query SuperDB databases.

You can import data from a variety of formats and it will automatically be committed in super-structured format, providing full fidelity of the original format and the ability to reconstruct the original data without loss of information.

A SuperDB database offers an easy-to-use substrate for data discovery, preparation, and transformation as well as serving as a queryable and searchable store for super-structured data both for online and archive use cases.

While super db is itself a sub-command of super, it invokes a large number of interrelated sub-commands, similar to the docker or kubectl commands.

The following sections describe each of the available commands and highlight some key options. Built-in help shows the commands and their options:

  • super db -h with no args displays a list of super db commands.
  • super db command -h, where command is a sub-command, displays help for that sub-command.
  • super db command sub-command -h displays help for a sub-command of a sub-command and so forth.

By default, commands that display lake metadata (e.g., log or ls) use a text format. However, the -f option can be used to specify any supported output format.
