Native SQL

CrateDB is easily accessible for developers via the widely known and powerful SQL language.  

CrateDB’s distributed SQL query engine combines inverted indexes and columnar data structures with a modern query planner, enabling CrateDB to perform aggregations, JOINs, sub-selects, and ad-hoc queries at in-memory speed. CrateDB implements Native SQL, including joins, aggregations, indexing, sub-queries, user-defined functions and views. It also offers rich support for full-text search, geospatial queries, and nested JSON object columns, all accessible with SQL.

A major advantage of SQL is its ease of integration. CrateDB is compatible with most SQL tools, interfacing through the PostgreSQL wire protocol, JDBC, and REST.

"CrateDB allows us to do real-time dashboards on very big streaming and historic datasets in a simple way. We can scale the system easily as we grow the load and customers and have it all done with SQL."

"Having a standardized SQL language is a big advantage with CrateDB. That makes it very easy for people to access this data and work with it in different tools like Grafana or Tableau."
