sgr Engine
The sgr Engine is where sgr stores and queries datasets. It's built on top
of the PostgreSQL database with a few extensions, including the splitgraph
Python library itself. Because of that, you can query the sgr engine with any
application that works with PostgreSQL, including
pgcli, PostgREST or
PostGraphile. You do not need to
rewrite any of your tools to use sgr.
While it is possible to add sgr to existing PostgreSQL deployments, there
isn't currently a simple installation method. If you're interested in doing so,
you can follow the instructions in the
engine Dockerfile
or contact us.
The simplest way to manage the sgr engine is by using
sgr engine. sgr engine is a
wrapper around Docker that manages the Docker container the sgr engine runs
in, as well as Docker volumes with sgr data and metadata.
