Lesson 2.1: Sample deployment

Deploy sample database

There are two simple ways to get the bookstore sample dataset that is used throughout this academy.

Preinitialized TypeDB Cloud server

TypeDB Cloud deployments let you deploy the latest version of the bookstore sample dataset preloaded during server creation.

Using TypeDB Console

You can use TypeDB Console (minimum version 3.5.0) to load the bookstore dataset from the typedb-example repository, published at https://github.com/typedb/typedb-examples/releases.

TypeDB Console ships with a 1-liner to create a database, and load a schema and data file from URL. To create and initialize a new database with the latest bookstore dataset, you can use:

typedb console --address=<ADDRESS> --username=<USER> --command="database create-init bookstore http://github.com/typedb/typedb-examples/releases/latest/download/bookstore-schema.tql http://github.com/typedb/typedb-examples/releases/latest/download/bookstore-data.tql"

You can use this to load the dataset into a TypeDB CE, TypeDB Cloud, or your own on-premise TypeDB Enterprise server.

Get TypeDB Studio

To connect to a TypeDB server and run queries, we need to use a TypeDB client. This course uses TypeDB Studio, an IDE for managing and developing with TypeDB. You can either use it on the web at https://studio.typedb.com, or install it following the instructions on the Studio installation page.

This course uses TypeDB Studio, but you may alternatively complete it using TypeDB Console or any native language driver instead.
