ReQL command: repl

Command syntax

connection.repl

Description

Set the default connection to make REPL use easier. Allows calling .run on queries without specifying a connection.

Note: Avoid using repl in application code. RethinkDB connection objects are not thread-safe, and calls to connect from multiple threads may change the global connection object used by repl. Applications should specify connections explicitly.

Example: Set the default connection for the REPL, then call run without specifying the connection.

r.connect(:db => 'marvel').repl
r.table('heroes').run
