Storage Services and Transactor

Official Documentation: Storage Services

Dev Mode

Official Documentation: Provisioning dev mode

Copy the Docker Compose file:

cp compose/dev-mode.yml docker-compose.yml

Run the Datomic Transactor:

docker compose up datomic-transactor

To restore a backup of the MusicBrainz Sample Database:

docker compose run datomic-tools ./bin/datomic restore-db file:/usr/mbrainz-1968-1973 "datomic:dev://datomic-transactor:4334/my-datomic?password=unsafe"

PostgreSQL

Official Documentation Provisioning a SQL database

Copy the Docker Compose file:

cp compose/postgresql.yml docker-compose.yml

Run the Datomic Storage Service (PostgreSQL):

docker compose up datomic-storage

Create the table for Datomic:

docker compose run datomic-tools psql -f bin/sql/postgres-table.sql -h datomic-storage -U datomic-user -d my-datomic

You will be prompted for a password, which is unsafe.

Run the Datomic Transactor:

docker compose up datomic-transactor

To restore a backup of the MusicBrainz Sample Database:

docker compose run datomic-tools ./bin/datomic restore-db file:/usr/mbrainz-1968-1973 "datomic:sql://?jdbc:postgresql://datomic-storage:5432/my-datomic?user=datomic-user&password=unsafe"

Tools and Utilities

Datomic Console

To run Datomic Console:

docker compose up datomic-console

http://localhost:8080/browse

REPL

Starting a REPL:

docker compose run datomic-tools clojure -M:repl

Documentation: Getting Started

Require the API and set the appropriate db-uri:

(require '[datomic.api :as d])

; If you are using Dev Mode:
(def db-uri "datomic:dev://datomic-transactor:4334/my-datomic/?password=unsafe")

; If you are using PostgreSQL:
(def db-uri "datomic:sql://?jdbc:postgresql://datomic-storage:5432/my-datomic?user=datomic-user&password=unsafe")

If you have restored a backup of the MusicBrainz sample database:

(def conn (d/connect db-uri))

(def db (d/db conn))

(d/q '[:find ?id ?type ?gender
         :in $ ?name
       :where
         [?e :artist/name ?name]
         [?e :artist/gid ?id]
         [?e :artist/type ?teid]
         [?teid :db/ident ?type]
         [?e :artist/gender ?geid]
         [?geid :db/ident ?gender]]
     db
    "Jimi Hendrix")

If you are creating a new database from scratch:

(d/create-database db-uri)

(def conn (d/connect db-uri))

@(d/transact conn [{:db/doc "Hello world"}])

@(d/transact conn [{:db/ident :movie/title
                    :db/valueType :db.type/string
                    :db/cardinality :db.cardinality/one
                    :db/doc "The title of the movie"}

                   {:db/ident :movie/genre
                    :db/valueType :db.type/string
                    :db/cardinality :db.cardinality/one
                    :db/doc "The genre of the movie"}

                   {:db/ident :movie/release-year
                    :db/valueType :db.type/long
                    :db/cardinality :db.cardinality/one
                    :db/doc "The year the movie was released in theaters"}])

@(d/transact conn [{:movie/title "The Goonies"
                    :movie/genre "action/adventure"
                    :movie/release-year 1985}
                   {:movie/title "Commando"
                    :movie/genre "action/adventure"
                    :movie/release-year 1985}
                   {:movie/title "Repo Man"
                    :movie/genre "punk dystopia"
                    :movie/release-year 1984}])

(def db (d/db conn))

(d/q '[:find ?e ?movie-title
       :where [?e :movie/title ?movie-title]]
     db)

To exit the REPL, press Ctrl+D or type:

:repl/quit

Sometimes the REPL insists on hanging; in that case, you can kill the container:

docker compose kill datomic-tools
