Class Database

java.lang.Object
mindsdb.models.Database
public class Database extends Object
The Database class represents a database in the MindsDB system. It provides methods to interact with the database, such as querying, listing tables, getting a specific table, dropping a table, and creating tables.

The Database class can be instantiated using different constructors depending on the available information (e.g., with a Project object or a RestAPI object).

Example usage: 

 
 Server server = MindsDB.connect();
 Database db = server.getDatabase("my_database");
 Query query = db.query("SELECT * FROM my_table");
 List<MDBTable> tables = db.listTables();
 MDBTable table = db.getTable("my_table");
 db.dropTable("my_table");
 MDBTable newTable = db.createTable("new_table", someDataFrame, true);
The class also overrides the toString method to provide a string representation of the Database object.
