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.

<Tabs defaultValue="Python" values={[ { label: "Python", value: "Python" }, { label: "JavaScript", value: "JavaScript" }, { label: "Golang", value: "Golang" }, ]}

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")

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");

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

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