What is TiDB?

TiDB is a distributed SQL database. Inspired by the design of Google F1, TiDB supports the best features of both traditional RDBMS and NoSQL.

  • Horizontal scalability
    Grow TiDB as your business grows. You can increase the capacity by simply adding more machines.

  • Asynchronous schema changes
    Evolve TiDB schemas as your requirement evolves. You can add new columns and indices without to stop or affect the on-going operations.

  • Consistent distributed transactions
    Think TiDB as a single-machine RDBMS. You can start a transaction that across multiple machines without worrying about consistency. TiDB makes your application code simple and robust.

  • Compatible with MySQL protocol
    Use TiDB as MySQL. You can replace MySQL with TiDB to power your application without changing a single line of code in most cases.

  • Written in Go
    Enjoy TiDB as much as we love Go. We believe Go code is both easy and enjoyable to work with. Go makes us improve TiDB fast and makes you easy to dive into the codebase.

  • Multiple storage engine support
    Power TiDB with your most favorite engines. TiDB supports most of the popular storage engines in single-machine mode. You can choose from goleveldb, LevelDB, RocksDB, LMDB, BoltDB and even more to come.

Status

TiDB is at its early age and under heavy development, some of the features mentioned above have not been fully implemented.

Please do not use it in production.

Roadmap

Read the Roadmap.

Quick start

  • Pre-requirement
go get -d github.com/pingcap/tidb
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/pingcap/tidb
make
  • Run command line interpreter

Interpreter is an interactive command line TiDB client. You can just enter some SQL statements and get the result.

make interpreter
cd interpreter && ./interpreter

Press Ctrl+C to quit.

  • Run as go library
    See USAGE.md for detailed instructions to use TiDB as library in Go code.

  • Run as MySQL protocol server with single-machine KV storage engine
    Comming soon.

  • Run as MySQL protocol server with distributed transactional KV storage engine
    Comming soon.
