Querying in Surrealist

Once you have created a Surreal Cloud Instance, you can start querying it in Surrealist in the query view.

In the query view, and before you can run queries in Surrealist, you need to select a Namespace and a Database to work in.

First click on the Namespace button and select the namespace you want to work in (if you have not created a namespace, you will see an option to create one). Then click on the Database button and select the database you want to work in (if you have not created a namespace, you will see an option to create one).

Namespace and Database

Once you have selected a namespace and database, you can start running queries in Surrealist. You can run queries to create, read, update, and delete data in your Surreal Cloud Instance.

Querying Instance

You can now see your queries and results in the Surrealist query view. You can also see the created records in the explore view.
