System architecture
The operation of an OceanBase Database is supported by different components in the storage, replication, transaction, SQL, and access layers:
- Storage layer: Stores the data of a table or a table partition.
- Replication layer: Ensures data consistency between replicas of a partition based on consensus algorithms.
- Transaction layer: Ensures the atomicity and isolation of the modifications to one or multiple partitions.
- SQL layer: Translates SQL queries into executions over the storage.
- Access layer: Forwards user queries to the appropriate OceanBase Database instances for processing.
Quick start
How to deploy
🔥 Deploy by all-in-one
You can quickly deploy a standalone OceanBase Database to experience with the following commands.
# download and install all-in-one package (internet connection is required)
$> bash -c "$(curl -s https://obbusiness-private.oss-cn-shanghai.aliyuncs.com/download-center/opensource/oceanbase-all-in-one/installer.sh)"
$> source ~/.oceanbase-all-in-one/bin/env.sh
# quickly deploy OceanBase database
$> obd demo
🐳 Deploy by docker
- Pull OceanBase image (optional)
$> docker pull oceanbase/oceanbase-ce
- Start an OceanBase Database instance
# Deploy an instance with the maximum specifications supported by the container.
$> docker run -p 2881:2881 --name obstandalone -e MINI_MODE=0 -d oceanbase/oceanbase-ce
# Or deploy a mini standalone instance.
$> docker run -p 2881:2881 --name obstandalone -e MINI_MODE=1 -d oceanbase/oceanbase-ce
- Connect to the OceanBase Database instance
$> docker exec -it obstandalone ob-mysql sys # Connect to the root user of the sys tenant.
$> docker exec -it obstandalone ob-mysql root # Connect to the root user of the test tenant.
$> docker exec -it obstandalone ob-mysql test # Connect to the test user of the test tenant.
