CREATE A DATABASE

Because Glitter data is kept in tables in a database, if you wish to use it for data storage and retrieval, you must first establish your own database and data tables. To construct a database, use the CREATE DATABASE statement.

Using the SDK

We currently offer SDKs in Python and JavaScript, and both versions of the SDKs have ways of constructing databases. Here's an example of how to make a database.

Python

The Python SDK's create_database() method can be used to create a database.

XIAN_HOST = "https://api.xian.glitter.link"
#LOCAL_HOST = "http://127.0.0.1:41317"
CHAIN_ID = "glitter_12000-1"
mk = MnemonicKey("your mnemonic words")
client = LCDClient(
    chain_id=CHAIN_ID,
    url=XIAN_HOST,
    gas_prices=Coins.from_str("0.15agli"),
    gas_adjustment=Numeric.parse(1.5))
db = client.db(mk)
db.create_database("your_database_name")

JavaScript

You can create a database using the createDatabase() method of the JavaScript SDK

const XIAN_HOST = "https://api.xian.glitter.link"
//const LOCAL_HOST = "http://127.0.0.1:41317"
const CHAIN_ID = "glitter_12000-1"
const mk = new MnemonicKey({"your mnemonic words"});
const client = new LCDClient({
    URL: XIAN_HOST,
    chainID: CHAIN_ID,
    gasPrices: Coins.fromString('0.15agli'),
    gasAdjustment: Numeric.parse(1.5),
    });
const db = client.db(mk);
await db.createDatabase("your_database_name");

Golang

The Golang SDK's CreateDatabase() method can be used to create a database.

resp, err := glitterClient.CreateDatabase(ctx, "your_database_name")
