space_object:auto_increment(tuple)

Insert a new tuple using an auto-increment primary key. The space specified by space_object must have a num primary key index of type TREE. The primary-key field will be incremented before the insert.

Параметры:
  • space_object (space_object) – an object reference
  • tuple (table/tuple) – tuple’s fields, other than the primary-key field
Return:

the inserted tuple.

Rtype:

tuple

Complexity factors: Index size, Index type, Number of indexes accessed, WAL settings.

Possible errors: index has wrong type or primary-key indexed field is not a number.

Example:

tarantool> box.space.tester:auto_increment{'Fld#1', 'Fld#2'}
---
- [1, 'Fld#1', 'Fld#2']
...
tarantool> box.space.tester:auto_increment{'Fld#3'}
---
- [2, 'Fld#3']
...
space_object:count([key][, iterator])
Параметры:
  • space_object (space_object) – an object reference
  • key (scalar/table) – primary-key field values, must be passed as a Lua table if key is multi-part
  • iterator – comparison method
Return:

Number of tuples.

Example:

tarantool> box.space.tester:count(2, {iterator='GE'})
---
- 1
...
space_object:create_index(index-name[, options])

Create an index. It is mandatory to create an index for a space before trying to insert tuples into it, or select tuples from it. The first created index, which will be used as the primary-key index, must be unique.

Параметры:
  • space_object (space_object) – an object reference
  • index_name (string) – name of index, which should not be a number and should not contain special characters
  • options (table) –
Return:

index object

Rtype:

index_object

Options for space_object:create_index:

Name Effect Type Default
type type of index string („HASH“ or „TREE“ or „BITSET“ or „RTREE“) „TREE“
id unique identifier number last index’s id, +1
unique index is unique boolean true
if_not_exists no error if duplicate name boolean false
parts field-numbers + types {field_no, „NUM“ or „STR“ or „ARRAY“) {1, 'NUM'}
dimension affects RTREE only number 2
distance affects RTREE only string („euclid“ or „manhattan“) „euclid“

Possible errors: too many parts. Index „…“ already exists. Primary key must be unique.

tarantool> s = box.space.space55
---
...
tarantool> s:create_index('primary', {unique = true, parts = {1, 'NUM', 2, 'STR'}})
---
...

Details about index field types:

The three index field types (NUM | STR | ARRAY) differ depending on what values are allowed, and what index types are allowed.

  • NUM: unsigned integers between 0 and 18446744073709551615, about 18 quintillion. The name will be changed to „unsigned“ in Tarantool version 1.7. Legal in memtx TREE or HASH indexes.
  • STR: any set of octets, up to the maximum length. The name will be changed to „string“ in Tarantool version 1.7. Legal in memtx TREE or HASH or BITSET indexes.
  • ARRAY: array of integers between -9223372036854775808 and 9223372036854775807. Legal in memtx RTREE indexes.

{3, 5, 9, 10}
space_object:dec{field-value[, field-value ...]}

Decrements a counter in a tuple whose primary key matches the field-value(s). The field following the primary-key fields will be the counter. If there is no tuple matching the field-value(s), a new one is not inserted. If the counter value drops to zero, the tuple is deleted.

Parameters: space_object = an object reference; field-value(s) (type = Lua table or scalar) = values which must match the primary key.

Return:the new counter value
Rtype:number

Complexity factors: Index size, Index type, WAL settings.

Example:

tarantool> s = box.schema.space.create('space19')
---
...
tarantool> s:create_index('primary', {
         >   unique = true,
         >   parts = {1, 'NUM', 2, 'STR'}
         > })

- 999
...
tarantool> box.space.space19:dec{1, 'a'}

...
space_object:delete(key)

Delete a tuple identified by a primary key.

Параметры:
  • space_object (space_object) – an object reference
  • key (scalar/table) – primary-key field values, must be passed as a Lua table if key is multi-part
Return:

the deleted tuple

Rtype:

tuple

Complexity factors: Index size, Index type

Example:

tarantool> box.space.tester:delete(1)
---
- [1, 'My first tuple']
...
tarantool> box.space.tester:delete(1)
---
...
tarantool> box.space.tester:delete('a')
---
- error: 'Supplied key type of part 0 does not match index part type:
  expected num'
...
space_object:drop()

Drop a space.

Параметры:
Return:

nil

Possible errors: If space_object does not exist.

Complexity factors: Index size, Index type, Number of indexes accessed, WAL settings.

Example:

box.space.space_that_does_not_exist:drop()
space_object:get(key)

Search for a tuple in the given space.

Параметры:
  • space_object (space_object) – an object reference
  • key (scalar/table) – value to be matched against the index key, which may be multi-part.
Return:

the tuple whose index key matches key, or nil.

Rtype:

tuple

Possible errors: If space_object does not exist.

Complexity factors: Index size, Index type, Number of indexes accessed, WAL settings.

The box.space...select function returns a set of tuples as a Lua table; the box.space...get function returns at most a single tuple. And it is possible to get the first tuple in a space by appending [1]. Therefore box.space.tester:get{1} has the same effect as box.space.tester:select{1}[1], if exactly one tuple is found.

Example:

box.space.tester:get{1}
space_object:inc{field-value[, field-value ...]}

Increments a counter in a tuple whose primary key matches the field-value(s). The field following the primary-key fields will be the counter. If there is no tuple matching the field-value(s), a new one is inserted with initial counter value set to 1.

Parameters: space_object = an object reference; field-value(s) (type = Lua table or scalar) = values which must match the primary key.

Return:the new counter value
Rtype:number

Complexity Factors: Index size, Index type, WAL settings.

Example:

tarantool> s = box.schema.space.create('forty_second_space')
---
...
tarantool> s:create_index('primary', {
         >   unique = true,
         >   parts = {1, 'NUM', 2, 'STR'}
         > })
---
...
tarantool> box.space.forty_second_space:inc{1, 'a'}
---
- 1
...
tarantool> box.space.forty_second_space:inc{1, 'a'}
---
- 2
...
space_object:insert(tuple)

Insert a tuple into a space.

Параметры:
  • space_object (space_object) – an object reference
  • tuple (tuple/table) – tuple to be inserted.
Return:

the inserted tuple

Rtype:

tuple

Possible errors: If a tuple with the same unique-key value already exists, returns ER_TUPLE_FOUND.

Example:

tarantool> box.space.tester:insert{5000,'tuple number five thousand'}
---
- [5000, 'tuple number five thousand']
...
space_object:len()
Параметры:
Return:

Number of tuples in the space.

Example:

tarantool> box.space.tester:len()
---
- 2
...
space_object:on_replace(trigger-function[, old-trigger-function])

Create a «replace trigger». The trigger-function will be executed whenever a replace() or insert() or update() or upsert() or delete() happens to a tuple in <space-name>.

Параметры:
  • trigger-function (function) – function which will become the trigger function
  • old-trigger-function (function) – existing trigger function which will be replaced by trigger-function
Return:

nil or function pointer

If the parameters are (nil, old-trigger-function), then the old trigger is deleted. Details about trigger characteristics are in the triggers section.

Example #1:

tarantool> function f ()
         >   x = x + 1
         > end
tarantool> box.space.X:on_replace(f)

The trigger-function can have two parameters: old tuple, new tuple. For example, the following code causes nil to be printed when the insert request is processed, and causes [1, „Hi“] to be printed when the delete request is processed:

box.schema.space.create('space_1')
box.space.space_1:create_index('space_1_index',{})
function on_replace_function (old, new) print(old) end
box.space.space_1:on_replace(on_replace_function)
box.space.space_1:insert{1,'Hi'}
box.space.space_1:delete{1}

Example #2:

The following series of requests will create a space, create an index, create a function which increments a counter, create a trigger, do two inserts, drop the space, and display the counter value - which is 2, because the function is executed once after each insert.

tarantool> s = box.schema.space.create('space53')
tarantool> s:create_index('primary', {parts = {1, 'NUM'}})
tarantool> function replace_trigger()
         >   replace_counter = replace_counter + 1
         > end
tarantool> s:on_replace(replace_trigger)
tarantool> replace_counter = 0
tarantool> t = s:insert{1, 'First replace'}
tarantool> t = s:insert{2, 'Second replace'}
tarantool> s:drop()
tarantool> replace_counter
space_object:pairs([key[, iterator]])

Search for a tuple or a set of tuples in the given space, and allow iterating over one tuple at a time.

Параметры:
  • space_object (space_object) – an object reference
  • key (scalar/table) – value to be matched against the index key, which may be multi-part
  • iterator – see index_object:pairs
Return:

iterator which can be used in a for/end loop or with totable()

Possible errors: No such space; wrong type.

Complexity factors: Index size, Index type.

For examples of complex pairs requests, where one can specify which index to search and what condition to use (for example «greater than» instead of «equal to»), see the later section index_object:pairs.

Example:

tarantool> s = box.schema.space.create('space33')
---
...
tarantool> -- index 'X' has default parts {1, 'NUM'}
tarantool> s:create_index('X', {})
---
...
tarantool> s:insert{0, 'Hello my '}, s:insert{1, 'Lua world'}
---
- [0, 'Hello my ']
- [1, 'Lua world']
...
tarantool> tmp = ''
---
...
tarantool> for k, v in s:pairs() do
         >   tmp = tmp .. v[2]
         > end
---
...
tarantool> tmp
---
- Hello my Lua world
...
space_object:rename(space-name)

Rename a space.

Параметры:
  • space_object (space_object) – an object reference
  • space-name (string) – new name for space
Return:

nil

Possible errors: space_object does not exist.

Example:

tarantool> box.space.space55:rename('space56')
---
...
tarantool> box.space.space56:rename('space55')
---
...
space_object:replace(tuple)
space_object:put(tuple)

Insert a tuple into a space. If a tuple with the same primary key already exists, box.space...:replace() replaces the existing tuple with a new one. The syntax variants box.space...:replace() and box.space...:put() have the same effect; the latter is sometimes used to show that the effect is the converse of box.space...:get().

Параметры:
  • space_object (space_object) – an object reference
  • tuple (table/tuple) – tuple to be inserted
Return:

the inserted tuple.

Rtype:

tuple

Possible errors: If a different tuple with the same unique-key value already exists, returns ER_TUPLE_FOUND. (This will only happen if there is a unique secondary index.)

Complexity factors: Index size, Index type, Number of indexes accessed, WAL settings.

Example:

box.space.tester:replace{5000, 'tuple number five thousand'}
space_object:run_triggers(true|false)

At the time that a trigger is defined, it is automatically enabled - that is, it will be executed. Replace triggers can be disabled with box.space.space-name:run_triggers(false) and re-enabled with box.space.space-name:run_triggers(true).

Return:nil

Example:

The following series of requests will associate an existing function named F with an existing space named T, associate the function a second time with the same space (so it will be called twice), disable all triggers of T, and delete each trigger by replacing with nil.

tarantool> box.space.T:on_replace(F)
tarantool> box.space.T:on_replace(F)
tarantool> box.space.T:run_triggers(false)
tarantool> box.space.T:on_replace(nil, F)
tarantool> box.space.T:on_replace(nil, F)
space_object:select([key])

Search for a tuple or a set of tuples in the given space.

Параметры:
  • space_object (space_object) – an object reference
  • key (scalar/table) – value to be matched against the index key, which may be multi-part.
Return:

the tuples whose primary-key fields are equal to the fields of the passed key. If the number of passed fields is less than the number of fields in the primary key, then only the passed fields are compared, so select{1,2} will match a tuple whose primary key is {1,2,3}.

Rtype:

array of tuples

Possible errors: No such space; wrong type.

Complexity factors: Index size, Index type.

Example:

tarantool> s = box.schema.space.create('tmp', {temporary=true})
---
...
tarantool> s:create_index('primary',{parts = {1,'NUM', 2, 'STR'}})
---
...
tarantool> s:insert{1,'A'}
---
- [1, 'A']
...
tarantool> s:insert{1,'B'}
---
- [1, 'B']
...
tarantool> s:insert{1,'C'}
---
- [1, 'C']
...
tarantool> s:insert{2,'D'}
---
- [2, 'D']
...
tarantool> -- must equal both primary-key fields
tarantool> s:select{1,'B'}
---
- - [1, 'B']
...
tarantool> -- must equal only one primary-key field
tarantool> s:select{1}
---
- - [1, 'A']
  - [1, 'B']
  - [1, 'C']
...
tarantool> -- must equal 0 fields, so returns all tuples
tarantool> s:select{}
---
- - [1, 'A']
  - [1, 'B']
  - [1, 'C']
  - [2, 'D']
...

For examples of complex select requests, where one can specify which index to search and what condition to use (for example «greater than» instead of «equal to») and how many tuples to return, see the later section index_object:select.

space_object:truncate()

Deletes all tuples.

Параметры:

Complexity factors: Index size, Index type, Number of tuples accessed.

Return:nil

Примечание

Note that truncate must be called only by the user who created the space OR under a setuid function created by that user. Read more about setuid functions in reference on box.schema.func.create().

Example:

tarantool> box.space.tester:truncate()
---
...
tarantool> box.space.tester:len()
---
- 0
...
space_object:update(key, {{operator, field_no, value}, ...})

Update a tuple.

The update function supports operations on fields — assignment, arithmetic (if the field is numeric), cutting and pasting fragments of a field, deleting or inserting a field. Multiple operations can be combined in a single update request, and in this case they are performed atomically and sequentially. Each operation requires specification of a field number. When multiple operations are present, the field number for each operation is assumed to be relative to the most recent state of the tuple, that is, as if all previous operations in a multi-operation update have already been applied. In other words, it is always safe to merge multiple update invocations into a single invocation, with no change in semantics.

Possible operators are:

  • + for addition (values must be numeric)
  • - for subtraction (values must be numeric)
  • & for bitwise AND (values must be unsigned numeric)
  • | for bitwise OR (values must be unsigned numeric)
  • ^ for bitwise XOR (values must be unsigned numeric)
  • : for string splice
  • ! for insertion
  • # for deletion
  • = for assignment

For ! and = operations the field number can be -1, meaning the last field in the tuple.

Параметры:
  • space_object (space_object) – an object reference
  • key (scalar/table) – primary-key field values, must be passed as a Lua table if key is multi-part
  • operator (string) – operation type represented in string
  • field_no (number) – what field the operation will apply to. The field number can be negative, meaning the position from the end of tuple. (#tuple + negative field number + 1)
  • value (lua_value) – what value will be applied
Return:

the updated tuple.

Rtype:

tuple

Possible errors: it is illegal to modify a primary-key field.

Complexity factors: Index size, Index type, number of indexes accessed, WAL settings.

Thus, in the instruction:

s:update(44, {{'+', 1, 55 }, {'=', 3, 'x'}})

the primary-key value is 44, the operators are '+' and '=' meaning add a value to a field and then assign a value to a field, the first affected field is field 1 and the value which will be added to it is 55, the second affected field is field 3 and the value which will be assigned to it is 'x'.

Example:

Assume that initially there is a space named tester with a primary-key index whose type is num. There is one tuple, with field[1] = 999 and field[2] = 'A'.

In the update:
box.space.tester:update(999, {{'=', 2, 'B'}})
The first argument is tester, that is, the affected space is tester. The second argument is 999, that is, the affected tuple is identified by primary key value = 999. The third argument is =, that is, there is one operation — assignment to a field. The fourth argument is 2, that is, the affected field is field[2]. The fifth argument is 'B', that is, field[2] contents change to 'B'. Therefore, after this update, field[1] = 999 and field[2] = 'B'.

In the update:
box.space.tester:update({999}, {{'=', 2, 'B'}})
the arguments are the same, except that the key is passed as a Lua table (inside braces). This is unnecessary when the primary key has only one field, but would be necessary if the primary key had more than one field. Therefore, after this update, field[1] = 999 and field[2] = 'B' (no change).

In the update:
box.space.tester:update({999}, {{'=', 3, 1}})
the arguments are the same, except that the fourth argument is 3, that is, the affected field is field[3]. It is okay that, until now, field[3] has not existed. It gets added. Therefore, after this update, field[1] = 999, field[2] = 'B', field[3] = 1.

In the update:
box.space.tester:update({999}, {{'+', 3, 1}})
the arguments are the same, except that the third argument is '+', that is, the operation is addition rather than assignment. Since field[3] previously contained 1, this means we’re adding 1 to 1. Therefore, after this update, field[1] = 999, field[2] = 'B', field[3] = 2.

In the update:
box.space.tester:update({999}, {{'|', 3, 1}, {'=', 2, 'C'}})
the idea is to modify two fields at once. The formats are '|' and =, that is, there are two operations, OR and assignment. The fourth and fifth arguments mean that field[3] gets OR’ed with 1. The seventh and eighth arguments mean that field[2] gets assigned 'C'. Therefore, after this update, field[1] = 999, field[2] = 'C', field[3] = 3.

In the update:
box.space.tester:update({999}, {{'#', 2, 1}, {'-', 2, 3}})
The idea is to delete field[2], then subtract 3 from field[3]. But after the delete, there is a renumbering, so field[3] becomes field[2]` before we subtract 3 from it, and that’s why the seventh argument is 2, not 3. Therefore, after this update, field[1] = 999, field[2] = 0.

In the update:
box.space.tester:update({999}, {{'=', 2, 'XYZ'}})
we’re making a long string so that splice will work in the next example. Therefore, after this update, field[1] = 999, field[2] = 'XYZ'.

In the update:
box.space.tester:update({999}, {{':', 2, 2, 1, '!!'}})
The third argument is ':', that is, this is the example of splice. The fourth argument is 2 because the change will occur in field[2]. The fifth argument is 2 because deletion will begin with the second byte. The sixth argument is 1 because the number of bytes to delete is 1. The seventh argument is '!!', because '!!' is to be added at this position. Therefore, after this update, field[1] = 999, field[2] = 'X!!Z'.

space_object:upsert(tuple_value, {{operator, field_no, value}, ...})

Update or insert a tuple.

If there is an existing tuple which matches the key fields of tuple_value, then the request has the same effect as space_object:update() and the {{operator, field_no, value}, ...} parameter is used. If there is no existing tuple which matches the key fields of tuple_value, then the request has the same effect as space_object:insert() and the {tuple_value} parameter is used. However, unlike insert or update, upsert will not read a tuple and perform error checks before returning – this is a design feature which enhances throughput but requires more caution on the part of the user.

Параметры:
  • space_object (space_object) – an object reference
  • tuple (table/tuple) – default tuple to be inserted, if analogue isn’t found
  • operator (string) – operation type represented in string
  • field_no (number) – what field the operation will apply to. The field number can be negative, meaning the position from the end of tuple. (#tuple + negative field number + 1)
  • value (lua_value) – what value will be applied
Return:

null

Possible errors: it is illegal to modify a primary-key field. It is illegal to use upsert with a space that has a unique secondary index.

Complexity factors: Index size, Index type, number of indexes accessed, WAL settings.

Example:

box.space.tester:upsert({12,'c'}, {{'=', 3, 'a'}, {'=', 4, 'b'}})
space_object.enabled

Whether or not this space is enabled. The value is false if the space has no index.

space_object.field_count

The required field count for all tuples in this space. The field_count can be set initially with:

box.schema.space.create(..., {
    ... ,
    field_count = field_count_value ,
    ...
})

The default value is 0, which means there is no required field count.

Example:

tarantool> box.space.tester.field_count
---
- 0
...
space_object.id

Ordinal space number. Spaces can be referenced by either name or number. Thus, if space tester has id = 800, then box.space.tester:insert{0} and box.space[800]:insert{0} are equivalent requests.

Example:

tarantool> box.space.tester.id
---
- 512
...
space_object.index

A container for all defined indexes. There is a Lua object of type box.index with methods to search tuples and iterate over them in predefined order.

Rtype:table

Example:

tarantool> #box.space.tester.index
---
- 1
...
tarantool> box.space.tester.index.primary.type
---
- TREE
...
box.space._cluster

_cluster is a system space for support of the replication feature.

box.space._func

_func is a system space with function tuples made by box.schema.func.create().

Tuples in this space contain the following fields:

  • the numeric function id, a number,
  • the function name,
  • flag,
  • a language name (optional): „LUA“ (default) or „C“.

The _func space does not include the function’s body. You continue to create Lua functions in the usual way, by saying function function_name () ... end, without adding anything in the _func space. The _func space only exists for storing function tuples so that their names can be used within grant/revoke functions.

You can:

Example:

In the following example, we create a function named ‘f7’, put it into Tarantool’s _func space and grant „execute“ privilege for this function to „guest“ user.

tarantool> function f7()
         >  box.session.uid()
         > end
---
...
tarantool> box.schema.func.create('f7')
---
...
tarantool> box.schema.user.grant('guest', 'execute', 'function', 'f7')
---
...
tarantool> box.schema.user.revoke('guest', 'execute', 'function', 'f7')
---
...
box.space._index

_index is a system space.

Tuples in this space contain the following fields:

  • id (= id of space),
  • iid (= index number within space),
  • name,
  • type,
  • opts (e.g. unique option), [tuple-field-no, tuple-field-type …].

Here is what _index contains in a typical installation:

tarantool> box.space._index:select{}
---
- - [272, 0, 'primary', 'tree', {'unique': true}, [[0, 'str']]]
  - [280, 0, 'primary', 'tree', {'unique': true}, [[0, 'num']]]
  - [280, 1, 'owner', 'tree', {'unique': false}, [[1, 'num']]]
  - [280, 2, 'name', 'tree', {'unique': true}, [[2, 'str']]]
  - [281, 0, 'primary', 'tree', {'unique': true}, [[0, 'num']]]
  - [281, 1, 'owner', 'tree', {'unique': false}, [[1, 'num']]]
  - [281, 2, 'name', 'tree', {'unique': true}, [[2, 'str']]]
  - [288, 0, 'primary', 'tree', {'unique': true}, [[0, 'num'], [1, 'num']]]
  - [288, 2, 'name', 'tree', {'unique': true}, [[0, 'num'], [2, 'str']]]
  - [289, 0, 'primary', 'tree', {'unique': true}, [[0, 'num'], [1, 'num']]]
  - [289, 2, 'name', 'tree', {'unique': true}, [[0, 'num'], [2, 'str']]]
  - [296, 0, 'primary', 'tree', {'unique': true}, [[0, 'num']]]
  - [296, 1, 'owner', 'tree', {'unique': false}, [[1, 'num']]]
  - [296, 2, 'name', 'tree', {'unique': true}, [[2, 'str']]]

box.space._priv

_priv is a system space where privileges are stored.

Tuples in this space contain the following fields:

  • the numeric id of the user who gave the privilege («grantor_id»),
  • the numeric id of the user who received the privilege («grantee_id»),
  • the type of object: „space“, „function“ or „universe“,
  • the numeric id of the object,
  • the type of operation: «read» = 1, «write» = 2, «execute» = 4, or a combination such as «read,write,execute».

You can:

Примечание

  • Generally, privileges are granted or revoked by the owner of the object (the user who created it), or by the „admin“ user.
  • Before dropping any objects or users, make sure that all their associated privileges have been revoked.
  • Only the „admin“ user can grant privileges for the „universe“.
  • Only the „admin“ user or the creator of a space can drop, alter, or truncate the space.
  • Only the „admin“ user or the creator of a user can change a different user’s password.
box.space._schema

_schema is a system space.

This space contains the following tuples:

  • version tuple with version information for this Tarantool instance,
  • cluster tuple with the instance’s replica set ID,
  • max_id tuple with the maximal space ID,
  • once... tuples that correspond to specific box.once() blocks from the instance’s initialization file. The first field in these tuples contains the key value from the corresponding box.once() block prefixed with „once“ (e.g. oncehello), so you can easily find a tuple that corresponds to a specific box.once() block.

Example:

Here is what _schema contains in a typical installation (notice the tuples for two box.once() blocks, 'oncebye' and 'oncehello'):

tarantool> box.space._schema:select{}
---
- - ['cluster', 'b4e15788-d962-4442-892e-d6c1dd5d13f2']
  - ['max_id', 512]
  - ['oncebye']
  - ['oncehello']
  - ['version', 1, 6, 8]
box.space._space

_space is a system space.

Tuples in this space contain the following fields:

  • id,
  • owner (= id of user who owns the space),
  • name, engine, field_count,
  • flags (e.g. temporary), format.

These fields are established by space.create().

Example #1:

The following function will display all simple fields in all tuples of _space.

function example()
  local ta = {}
  local i, line
  for k, v in box.space._space:pairs() do
    i = 1
    line = ''
    while i <= #v do
      if type(v[i]) ~= 'table' then
        line = line .. v[i] .. ' '
      end
    i = i + 1
    end
    table.insert(ta, line)
  end
  return ta
end

Here is what example() returns in a typical installation:

tarantool> example()
---
- - '272 1 _schema memtx 0  '
  - '280 1 _space memtx 0  '
  - '281 1 _vspace sysview 0  '
  - '288 1 _index memtx 0  '
  - '296 1 _func memtx 0  '
  - '304 1 _user memtx 0  '
  - '305 1 _vuser sysview 0  '
  - '312 1 _priv memtx 0  '
  - '313 1 _vpriv sysview 0  '
  - '320 1 _cluster memtx 0  '
  - '512 1 tester memtx 0  '
  - '514 1 archive memtx 0  '
...

Example #2:

The following requests will create a space using box.schema.space.create() with a format clause. Then it retrieves the _space tuple for the new space. This illustrates the typical use of the format clause, it shows the recommended names and data types for the fields.

tarantool> box.schema.space.create('TM', {
         >   id = 12345,
         >   format = {
         >     [1] = {["name"] = "field_1"},
         >     [2] = {["type"] = "num"}
         >   }
         > })
---
- index: []
  on_replace: 'function: 0x41c67338'
  temporary: false
  id: 12345
  engine: memtx
  enabled: false
  name: TM
  field_count: 0
- created
...
tarantool> box.space._space:select(12345)
---
- - [12345, 1, 'TM', 'memtx', 0, {}, [{'name': 'field_1'}, {'type': 'num'}]]
...
box.space._user

_user is a system space where user-names and password hashes are stored.

Tuples in this space contain the following fields:

  • the numeric id of the tuple («id»),
  • the numeric id of the tuple’s creator,
  • the name,
  • the type: „user“ or „role“,
  • optional password.

There are four special tuples in the _user space: „guest“, „admin“, „public“ and „replication“.

Name ID Type Description
guest 0 user Default user when connecting remotely. Usually an untrusted user with few privileges.
admin 1 user Default user when using Tarantool as a console. Usually an administrative user with all privileges.
public 2 role Pre-defined role, automatically assigned to new users when they are created with box.schema.user.create(user-name). Therefore, a convenient way to grant „read“ on space „t“ to every user that will ever exist is with box.schema.role.grant('public','read','space','t').
replication 3 role Pre-defined role, assigned by the „admin“ user to users who need to use replication features.

To select a tuple from the _user space, use box.space._user:select(). For example, here is what happens with a select for user id = 0, which is the „guest“ user, which by default has no password:

tarantool> box.space._user:select{0}
---
- - [0, 1, 'guest', 'user']
...

Предупреждение

To change tuples in the _user space, do not use ordinary box.space functions for insert or update or delete. The _user space is special, so there are special functions which have appropriate error checking.

To create a new user, use box.schema.user.create():

box.schema.user.create(user-name)
box.schema.user.create(user-name, {if_not_exists = true})
box.schema.user.create(user-name, {password = password})

To change the user’s password, use box.schema.user.password():

-- To change the current user's password
box.schema.user.passwd(password)

-- To change a different user's password
-- (usually only 'admin' can do it)
box.schema.user.passwd(user-name, password)

To drop a user, use box.schema.user.drop():

box.schema.user.drop(user-name)

To check whether a user exists, use box.schema.user.exists(), which returns true or false:

box.schema.user.exists(user-name)

To find what privileges a user has, use box.schema.user.info():

box.schema.user.info(user-name)

Примечание

The maximum number of users is 32.

Example:

Here is a session which creates a new user with a strong password, selects a tuple in the _user space, and then drops the user.

tarantool> box.schema.user.create('JeanMartin', {password = 'Iwtso_6_os$$'})
---
...
tarantool> box.space._user.index.name:select{'JeanMartin'}
---
- - [17, 1, 'JeanMartin', 'user', {'chap-sha1': 't3xjUpQdrt857O+YRvGbMY5py8Q='}]
...
tarantool> box.schema.user.drop('JeanMartin')
---
...

Example: use box.space functions to read _space tuples

This function will illustrate how to look at all the spaces, and for each display: approximately how many tuples it contains, and the first field of its first tuple. The function uses Tarantool box.space functions len() and pairs(). The iteration through the spaces is coded as a scan of the _space system space, which contains metadata. The third field in _space contains the space name, so the key instruction space_name = v[3] means space_name is the space_name field in the tuple of _space that we’ve just fetched with pairs(). The function returns a table:

function example()
  local tuple_count, space_name, line
  local ta = {}
  for k, v in box.space._space:pairs() do
    space_name = v[3]
    if box.space[space_name].index[0] ~= nil then
      tuple_count = '1 or more'
    else
      tuple_count = '0'
    end
    line = space_name .. ' tuple_count =' .. tuple_count
    if tuple_count == '1 or more' then
      for k1, v1 in box.space[space_name]:pairs() do
        line = line .. '. first field in first tuple = ' .. v1[1]
        break
      end
    end
    table.insert(ta, line)
  end
  return ta
end

And here is what happens when one invokes the function:

tarantool> example()
---
- - _schema tuple_count =1 or more. first field in first tuple = cluster
  - _space tuple_count =1 or more. first field in first tuple = 272
  - _vspace tuple_count =1 or more. first field in first tuple = 272
  - _index tuple_count =1 or more. first field in first tuple = 272
  - _vindex tuple_count =1 or more. first field in first tuple = 272
  - _func tuple_count =1 or more. first field in first tuple = 1
  - _vfunc tuple_count =1 or more. first field in first tuple = 1
  - _user tuple_count =1 or more. first field in first tuple = 0
  - _vuser tuple_count =1 or more. first field in first tuple = 0
  - _priv tuple_count =1 or more. first field in first tuple = 1
  - _vpriv tuple_count =1 or more. first field in first tuple = 1
  - _cluster tuple_count =1 or more. first field in first tuple = 1
...

Example: use box.space functions to organize a _space tuple

The objective is to display field names and field types of a system space – using metadata to find metadata.

To begin: how can one select the _space tuple that describes _space?

A simple way is to look at the constants in box.schema, which tell us that there is an item named SPACE_ID == 288, so these statements will retrieve the correct tuple:

box.space._space:select{ 288 }
or
box.space._space:select{ box.schema.SPACE_ID }

Another way is to look at the tuples in box.space._index, which tell us that there is a secondary index named „name“ for space number 288, so this statement also will retrieve the correct tuple:

box.space._space.index.name:select{ '_space' }

However, the retrieved tuple is not easy to read:

tarantool> box.space._space.index.name:select{'_space'}
---
- - [280, 1, '_space', 'memtx', 0, {}, [{'name': 'id', 'type': 'num'}, {'name': 'owner',
        'type': 'num'}, {'name': 'name', 'type': 'str'}, {'name': 'engine', 'type': 'str'},
      {'name': 'field_count', 'type': 'num'}, {'name': 'flags', 'type': 'str'}, {
        'name': 'format', 'type': '*'}]]
...

It looks disorganized because field number 7 has been formatted with recommended names and data types. How can one get those specific sub-fields? Since it’s visible that field number 7 is an array of maps, this for loop will do the organizing:

tarantool> do
         >   local tuple_of_space = box.space._space.index.name:get{'_space'}
         >   for _, field in ipairs(tuple_of_space[7]) do
         >     print(field.name .. ', ' .. field.type)
         >   end
         > end
id, num
owner, num
name, str
engine, str
field_count, num
flags, str
format, *
