Cloud SQL (Experimental)

This article is still under construction

Cloud SQL is an easy way to access your database using only your client. This approach is similar to GraphQL or PostgREST but instead of a proprietary query language, it uses JSON and knex.js/objection.js conventions.

Cloud SQL is not a direct replacement for GraphQL or PostgREST. If you have these technologies in place, please continue to use them.

CloudSQL works by exposing the tables and their downstream relationships through a REST API provided by Novel. The following features are available:

• SELECT and GRAPH SELECT

• INSERT and GRAPH INSERT

• DELETE with CASCADE

• UPDATE and GRAPH UPDATE

• ORDER, LIMIT, OFFSET

• SELECT FUNCTIONS: MAX, MIN, AVG, ETC...

• TRANSACTIONS

These features are enough for you to develop a fully functioning feature without ever touching server code.
