Overview

GaussDB(for MySQL) is a MySQL-compatible, enterprise-grade database service. Data functions virtualization (DFV) is used to decouple storage from compute and can auto scale up to 128 TB per DB instance. There is zero data loss. It provides the superior performance of a commercial database at the price of an open-source database.

Data Function Virtualization (DFV) is a high-performance and high-reliability distributed storage system that is vertically integrated with databases. Storage clusters are deployed in pools to improve storage utilization.

This document describes how to use application programming interfaces (APIs) to perform operations on DB instances. For details about all supported operations, see API Overview.
