Start here if you want to try Spiral as a local data engine for research workflows. The public surface today is the command-line REPL over local files, session tables, SQL, and registered table functions.
First session
Build the client from source and run the local Spiral binary.
Create a local table, insert rows, run SQL, and inspect a plan.
Where to go next
Read local Vortex, Arrow IPC, and Parquet files or create small in-memory tables for smoke tests.
Use the supported SQL subset, inspect plans, and discover registered table functions.
See implemented Blob and JPEG primitives plus planned image, video, audio, document, tensor, and custom extension surfaces.
Configure the REPL, tune local queries, read errors, and check current limits.
Look up exact SQL, CLI, function, table-function, and support details.
