Node database
Currently, nodes store their data in an H2 database. In the future, we plan to support a wide range of databases.
You can connect directly to a running node's database to see its stored states, transactions and attachments as follows:
Download the h2 platform-independent zip, unzip the zip, and navigate in a terminal window to the unzipped folder
Change directories to the bin folder:
cd h2/bin
Run the following command to open the h2 web console in a web browser tab:
- Unix:
sh h2.sh
- Windows:
h2.bat
- Unix:
Find the node's JDBC connection string. Each node outputs its connection string in the terminal window as it starts up. In a terminal window where a node is running, look for the following string:
Database connection URL is : jdbc:h2:tcp://10.18.0.150:56736/node
Paste this string into the JDBC URL field and click
Connect
, using the default username and password.
You will be presented with a web interface that shows the contents of your node's storage and vault, and provides an interface for you to query them using SQL.
