All elements of a database schema are grouped into logical units
called modules. A module has a name that is unique inside a database.
The same schema object name can be used in different modules without
conflict. For example, both module1
and module2
can contain
a User
object type.
Schema objects can be referred to by a fully-qualified name using the
<module>::<name>
notation.
Every EdgeDB schema contains the following standard modules:
std
: standard types, functions and other declarations
schema
: types describing the introspection
schema
sys
: system-wide entities, such as user roles and
databases
cfg
: configuration and settings
stdgraphql
: GraphQL-related types
math
: algebraic and statistical functions
default
: the default module for user-defined types, functions, etc.
