Once you’ve created your SQL Database database, you can begin creating tables and inserting data into them.

Go to SQL Database reference

Creating a table

Run the following POST request in your terminal, replacing [TOKEN VALUE] with your personal token and {id_database} with the ID of the database you want to create a table into:

Terminal window
curl --location 'https://api.azion.com/v4/edge_sql/databases/{id_database}/query' \
--header 'Authorization: Token [TOKEN VALUE]' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "statements": [
        "CREATE TABLE users (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT NOT NULL);"
    ]
}'

You should receive the following response:

{
  "state": "executed",
  "data": [
    {
      "results": {
        "columns": [],
        "rows": []
      }
    }
  ]
}

Adding data into a table

Run the following POST request in your terminal, replacing [TOKEN VALUE] with your personal token and {id_database} with the ID of the table you want to insert data into:

Terminal window
curl --location 'https://api.azion.com/v4/edge_sql/databases/{id_database}/query' \
--header 'Authorization: Token [TOKEN VALUE]' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "statements": [
        "INSERT INTO users VALUES (1, '\''item 1'\'');",
        "INSERT INTO users VALUES (2, '\''item 2'\'');",
        "INSERT INTO users VALUES (3, '\''item 3'\'');"
    ]
}'

You should receive the following response:

{
  "state": "executed",
  "data": [
    {
      "results": {
        "columns": [],
        "rows": []
      }
    },
    {
      "results": {
        "columns": [],
        "rows": []
      }
    },
    {
      "results": {
        "columns": [],
        "rows": []
      }
    }
  ]
}

Listing data in a table

Run the following POST request in your terminal, replacing [TOKEN VALUE] with your personal token and {id_database} with the ID of the table you want to retrieve:

Terminal window
curl --location 'https://api.azion.com/v4/edge_sql/databases/{id_database}/query' \
--header 'Authorization: Token [TOKEN VALUE]' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "statements": [
        "SELECT * FROM users;"
    ]
}'

You should receive the following response:

{
  "state": "executed",
  "data": [
    {
      "results": {
        "columns": [
          "id",
          "name"
        ],
        "rows": [
          [
            1,
            "item 1"
          ],
          [
            2,
            "item 2"
          ],
          [
            3,
            "item 3"
          ]
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
