Introduction

Hello there!

You've reached our interactive tutorial, the fastest way to try out EdgeDB without installing it — just hit the "Run" button below each code sample to see the result! You can also click on "Schema" to see how the sample database is put together.

(By the way, once you're done this tutorial feel free to check some other resources: our Easy EdgeDB textbook, cheatsheets, and blog posts on why we put EdgeDB together and where we're going from here.)

This first example just uses select to return a string. Click "Run" to return it!

Input

Run

select "This is a query fetching a string";

select "This is a query fetching a string";

Output Objects

Press the 'Run' button to evaluate the input

Strings can use either a double quote (") or a single quote ('). EdgeDB is fine with either case, as long as the same quotation marks are used on each side of a string.

Strings in EdgeDB are UTF-8 encoded so the following will also work just fine:

Input

Run

select '"Welcome👋𓀊", said the EdgeDB tutorial to the visitor.';

select '"Welcome👋𓀊", said the EdgeDB tutorial to the visitor.';

Output Objects

Press the 'Run' button to evaluate the input
