Demo Data

To quickly test out SurrealDB and SurrealQL functionality, we've included demo data here in .surql files which you can download and import into SurrealDB using the CLI

Surreal Deal - deals so good it's surreal!​

Surreal Deal is a demo dataset based on a simplified e-commerce platform that sells artwork. The dataset is made up of 8 tables using both graph relations and record links: person, order, product, review, artist, create, avg_product_review, daily_sales.

In the diagram below, the nodes in pink are the standard tables, the ones in purple represent the edge tables which shows relationships between records and SurrealDB as a graph database. While the nodes in gray are the pre-computed table views.
