Transactions

SQream DB treats each statement as an auto-commit transaction. Each transaction is isolated from other transactions with serializable isolation.

If a statement fails, the entire transaction is cancelled and rolled back. The database is unchanged.

Indexes

SQream DB has a range-index collected on all columns as part of the metadata collection process.

SQream DB does not support explicit indexing, but does support clustering keys.
