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 <http://www.h2database.com/html/download.html>`_, 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``
* 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.
