Answer 1

After you run:

docker exec -it <aerospike container name> bash -c aql

You will enter the "AQL" mode of the specified docker container:

You can then type help which will list the available commands and some examples.

There is also the official AQL documentation on Aerospike website: https://docs.aerospike.com/tools/aql .

INSERT example:

aql> INSERT INTO test.testset (PK, a, b) VALUES ('xyz', 'abc', 123)

SELECT example:

aql> DELETE FROM test.testset WHERE PK='xyz'

SHOW NAMESPACES example:

aql> show namespaces
+------------+
| namespaces |
+------------+
| "test"     |
| "bar"      |
+------------+
2 rows in set (0.001 secs)

There is much more you can do with AQL I suggest you read the documentation in the above link.
