SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Nushell users often need durable, cross-command data storage during interactive sessions and pipelines. This skill provides an in-process, lightweight storage layer based on stor (SQLite) to keep tables and records accessible across commands without external services.

Core Features & Use Cases

In-memory SQLite-backed storage across commands for fast, session-scoped data sharing.
Create/open tables, insert/update/delete records, and query data with SQL.
Persist critical datasets to SQLite files for later reuse or export to other formats.

Quick Start

Store a sample dataset in Nushell using stor to persist data across commands.

FAQPage Schema

How do I persist data across Nushell commands without an external database?▼

To persist data across Nushell commands without an external database, use stor-backed in-memory SQLite. It provides a lightweight, in-process storage layer that keeps tables accessible throughout interactive sessions and long-running pipelines.

What is the best way to share state in long-running Nushell data pipelines?▼

The best way to share state in long-running Nushell pipelines is using a session-scoped SQLite storage layer. This approach allows you to create tables, insert and update records, and query data with SQL across multiple commands.

Can I export in-memory Nushell data to a SQLite file for later reuse?▼

Yes, you can export in-memory Nushell data to a SQLite file for later reuse. The storage layer supports persisting critical datasets from the session-scoped store directly into standard SQLite files.

Does Nushell support SQL operations like insert and delete for session-scoped tables?▼

Nushell supports SQL operations for session-scoped tables through its stor-backed storage layer. You can create or open tables, insert, update, and delete records, and query data using standard SQL syntax.

When do I need stor-backed storage in Nushell workflows?▼

You need stor-backed storage in Nushell workflows when performing cross-command analytics or running long-running data pipelines that require shared state. It solves the problem of keeping tables and records accessible without relying on external services.

What are the limitations of using in-memory SQLite for Nushell data persistence?▼

A limitation of in-memory SQLite for Nushell data persistence is that data is session-scoped and lost when the session ends unless explicitly exported. You must persist critical datasets to SQLite files to ensure long-term durability.
