SOS (pronuounced "sôs") -- Scalable Object Store -- is a high-performance, indexed, object-oriented database designed to efficiently manage structured data on persistent media.
A schema is a collection of named, typed attributes. An object is an instance of attribute values conforming to the object schema.
A SOS container is a place where SOS users can insert, query, update and iterate over collections of objects objects.
sos_cmd is the CLI program to:
- Create SOS containers.
- Add schema to the container.
- Add/import objects into the container.
- Query objects from the container.
Please see sos_cmd -h for more information about how to use sos_cmd.
For more details about SOS documentation, please see SOS doc, which also contains SOS C API.
- For SOS python interface:
- Cython
- Python >= 2.7

# add `--enable-debug` to turn on debugging logic inside the SOS libraries
# add `--disable-python` to disable the Python commands and interface libraries
