Surreal Deal Store

To quickly test out SurrealDB and SurrealQL functionality, we've included demo data which you can download and import into SurrealDB.

To further test out SurrealDB and SurrealQL functionality, we've included two demo datasets here in .surql files which you can download and import into SurrealDB using the CLI.

Surreal Deal Store - there is a lot in store for you!

Surreal Deal Store is our new and improved demo dataset based on our SurrealDB Store.
The dataset is made up of 12 tables using both graph relations and record links.

In the diagram below, the nodes in pink are the standard tables, the ones in purple represent the edge tables which shows relationships between records and SurrealDB as a graph database. The nodes in grey are the pre-computed table views.

Import

Once one of the datasets has been downloaded, it's now time to start the server.

# Create a new in-memory server
surreal start --user root --pass secret --allow-all

Lastly, use the import command to add the dataset.

Use the command below to import the surreal deal store dataset:

surreal import --endpoint http://localhost:8000 --user root --pass secret \
  --ns main --db main surreal-deal-store.surql

To import the surreal downloaded the Surreal Deal store (mini) use the command below:

surreal import --endpoint http://localhost:8000 --user root --pass secret \

Please be aware that the import process might take a few seconds.

Using Curl

First, start the SurrealDB server:

# Create a new in-memory server
surreal start --user root --pass secret --allow-all

Then download the file and load it into the database:

# Download the file
curl -L "https://datasets.surrealdb.com/surreal-deal-store.surql" -o surreal-deal-store.surql

# Load the file into the database using the rest endpoint
curl -v -X POST -u "root:secret" -H "Surreal-NS: main" -H "Surreal-DB: main" -H "Accept: application/json" --data-binary @surreal-deal-store.surql http://localhost:8000/import

If you want to use the mini version:

# Download the file
curl -L "https://datasets.surrealdb.com/surreal-deal-store-mini.surql" -o surreal-deal-store-mini.surql

# Load the file into the database using the rest endpoint
curl -v -X POST -u "root:secret" -H "Surreal-NS: main" -H "Surreal-DB: main" -H "Accept: application/json" --data-binary @surreal-deal-store-mini.surql http://localhost:8000/import

Sample queries

Here are some sample queries you can run on the Surreal Deal Store dataset. We've also included a Surrealist Mini below to help you run these queries.
