Officially out now: The TypeDB 3.0 Roadmap >>

Lesson 6: Building applications

In this lesson, we’ll learn how to use the TypeDB native language drivers to build applications on TypeDB. We’ll start by seeing how to manage databases, then move onto using sessions and controlling transactions. We’ll see how we use different session and transaction types to execute queries, and how we can process results that are returned.

The examples and exercises in this lesson feature the official TypeDB Python driver.

Recommended prerequisites

  • You should complete Lesson 5 before starting this lesson.
