Select

Table of Contents


Overview
Select statements are used to read (or query) data from the database.

Notes on SELECT *

Select * can be used to obtain all fields from the selected documents. Notes that since the fields are not guaranteed to be consistent across all documents in the schema, that select * can be quite inefficient since extra locking is required as the cononical model is materialized.

Inconsitent Schema Fields

Fields are not guaranteed to be consistent across all documents in the schema, any fields that are referenced will be selected but will be NULL for documents where the field does not exist.

Examples
round-pushpin Statement to select all fields from the Word schema.
